The Ghomara are one of many Berber groups. The Berbers are a North African people group conquered by Muslim invaders in the 7th century. The name "Berber," derived from the Latin word "barbarian," was given to them by the Romans in the third century. Today, the term "Berber" refers to any native speaker of one of the Berber languages. Now, most Berbers refer to themselves as the Imazighen, which means "men of noble origin." Berbers are generally bilingual, speaking both their Berber dialect and Arabic.

Ministry Obstacles: There are very few Christian followers among the Ghomara Berbers in Morocco. It will be difficult to get any of them to give a fair hearing to any idea coming from the outside.

Scripture Focus: "Then the king said to me, What are you requesting? So I prayed to the God of heaven."
- Nehemiah 2:4

Prayer Focus: Pray that you will not pass up the chance for short, but effective prayers when you intercede for the nations. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Ghomara Berbers that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave. Pray for Ghomara Berbers to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for a movement to Christ. Ask God to send workers to the Ghomara, and that those workers will meet people who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel of peace.
