Introduction / History
Libya was once was a country that received foreigners. In recent years, however, civil war has driven millions of Libyans into other parts of the world. Some have fled to the more peaceful UAE.
What Are Their Lives Like?
Libyan Arabs in the UAE often have wealth and marketable skills. Libyan businessmen and teenagers are also discovering the internet, where Christian sites may lend additional witnessing opportunities in private settings.
What Are Their Beliefs?
The Lebanese Arabs have had a close association with Islam throughout their history. Islam still greatly influences their lives.
What Are Their Needs?
The Lebanese Arabs in the UAE are mostly Muslim. A Muslim who professes faith in Jesus Christ can lose his family, his honor, his job or even his life. Intercession is crucial to reaching them with the gospel.
Prayer Points
Pray for the Lord to give Libyans in the UAE a hunger for his word and his son.
Pray for workers who are willing to go to the Libyan Arabs in the UAE to demonstrate and preach the good news.
