Arab, Saudi - Najdi in Iraq

Arab, Saudi - Najdi in Iraq

pronounced: NADZH-dee

Saudi-Najdi Arabs in Iraq live a harsh existence, having few permanent homes, living in portable black tents made from woven goat hair. Women do most of the work, while men socialize and make plans for the group. Their tents are their main possessions, and animals are very important to their nomadic lifestyle.

Ministry Obstacles

Evangelism efforts among this unreached, unengaged people group are challenging due to the harsh and unsettled nature of their lifestyle. There is a great need for missionaries who are able to endure difficult desert conditions so they can have regular contact with these nomads.

Outreach Ideas

There is a need for medical and education teams to work among this nomadic people group to help them to help themselves.

Scripture Focus
