The Shilha Berber Cluster
Hump Day - Day Of Prayer For The Muslim World Vol. 101
"Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them."
Jude 22-23
Today we continue our prayer focus on the Muslim Berbers of the world by taking a look at the Shilha Berber people cluster. What can we learn about these people that will help us better pray? What do we know about them?
Shilha Berber Cluster - Fast Facts
Worldwide population - 11 million people
Made up of 11 distinct people groups
Can be found in 6 separate nations - Morocco, Algeria, Western Sahara, France, the UK and the Canary Islands
Shilha Berber Cluster - Religion
Outside of those living in the Canary Islands, the Shilha Berber cluster is almost 100% Sunni Muslim.
Only 0.1% of Shilha Berbers are Jesus followers.
In southern Morocco, where one of the people groups in the Shilha Berber cluster lives, there are no known followers of Jesus at all!
In Morocco, where most in the Shilha Berber cluster live, it is illegal to become a follower of Jesus and illegal to evangelize with the gospel
Prayer Needs For Shilha Berber Cluster
Pray for gospel laborers to be sent among the 11 people groups making up the Shilha Berber cluster in Morocco, Algeria, Western Sahara, France and the UK. The number of laborers needed for the task is approximately 200 people.
Pray for tent makers to be sent to help the Shilha Berbers become literate. Literacy rate is very low in this people cluster.
Pray for effective radio and satellite TV programming as a means of reaching people in the Shilha Berber cluster with the gospel.
Gospel materials are often distributed to people from the Shilha Berber cluster on the docks in southern Europe. Pray for eternal fruit as a result (John 15:16)
Additional Prayer Needs
Pray for an American team we know ministering Jesus' love in Morocco this week. May the LORD give them wisdom and supernaturally opened doors to share Christ.
Pray for the upcoming production of the "Adha of the Injeel" video. We are producing the Farsi and Urdu versions of the video August 3-5. Pray for the production, the individuals doing voice overs and ultimately for an abundantly fruitful distribution (John 15:8).
Continue to pray that a minimum of 10% of the Muslim world would come to Christ by the end of 2027.
Thanks for linking hands with us today in prayer. Stand firm in your faith, as your labor on your knees is producing fruit the world over! PTL.
Dream so big only Jesus can make it happen!
