Day 30: Least-Reached Peoples of Eritrea

Posted: 30 Mar 2012 11:00 PM PDT

During this Secret Church on Good Friday, April 6, we are focusing our prayer time on the people of the Horn of Africa. Throughout the weeks leading up to Secret Church we will post information and prayer requests on this blog. We invite you to join us in learning about and praying for the people of the Horn.

Over the next two days, pray specifically for the following people groups in Eritrea.

The Tigre people are mostly Muslim and are one of only a few Eritrean or Ethiopian Semitic peoples who are not Orthodox. The Bible is available in their heart language, but there are few Christians among the Tigre.

The Jabarti are a Muslim minority among the Tigrinya. Pray that the current unrest in Eritrea might create opportunities for Tigrinya Christians to engage this related but previously distant group.

The Afar and related Saho peoples are largely nomadic pastoralists in the southeast. There are few Christians among them.

The primarily nomadic Beja and Nara peoples of the northwest have no known witness.

The Arab Rashiada migrated from Saudi Arabia in the 19th-century. There are still no known churches.

Ways to Pray

  • Pray that many among the Tigre would be able to read or hear God's Word and believe.
  • Pray that Tigrinya Christians would overlook obstacles and differences and witness to the Jabarti.
  • Pray for Christ-followers to share the gospel with the Afar, Saho, Beja, Nara, and Arab Rashiada peoples. Ask God to save many who will become disciple-makers.
