Pray for the North Africans in Spain:
Father, we pray a blessing over the North Africans that you ignite a desire and longing for them to know the truth and experience the personal love of God. You are the King who knows the story of every person from beginning to end. We pray for the Christians amongst the North Africans in Spain, that you would “open a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ” (Colossians 4:3). We pray that the Holy Spirit would come to this region and shine His light to the everlasting hope that is offered to all those who call upon the name of Jesus as their Saviour. We pray for protection over those who have already decided to follow you. Jesus, please fill them with courage and boldness to testify to their Christian faith and share the reason for their hope so that they may lead everyone around them to you. Amen.
Learn more about this least-reached people group:
People from North African countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and other Maghreb countries moved to Spain around the mid-20th century to flee from political instability and meet labour shortages in agriculture, construction and manufacturing. The migrants now live in Southern regions including Andalusia and the Canary Islands.
While many North Africans in Spain are Muslim, they also maintain strong cultural ties to their countries of origin, preserving their languages (Arabic, Berber) and cultural traditions, including food, music, and dress. Despite growing social and cultural influence, many migrants continue to face issues such as limited access to housing, education, and employment, as well as xenophobia and Islamophobia.
More than 438,000 North Africans live in Canada.
