Halebi is an Egyptian name for gypsy. The Halebi reside in the Nile delta in four tribes. They claim to come from Yemen or Syria, but this is uncertain. Traditionally, the men trade in horses and the women practice folk medicine, fortune-telling and divination. Some travel into the Sudan because of economic hardship.
Ministry Obstacles It may be difficult for the Halebi to trust outsiders.
Outreach Ideas Christians need to build friendships with these gypsies, caring genuinely for their material and physically needs.
Pray for the followers of Christ There may be a few followers of Christ among the Halebi. Pray for these, and pray for the new believers that will soon be evident. Pray they in all things will grow up into Him who is the Head, Christ.
Pray for the entire people group Pray for these gypsies to increasingly hunger to know the Son of God. Pray also for their material and physical well-being.
Scripture Focus "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance." Psalm 33:12

Significant effort is made to match photos with people groups. In most cases the photo source has identified the people group. However, in some instances when the exact people group is not identified Joshua Project has made educated attempts at matching. As a result some photos may be representative of the people cluster rather than the specific people group. Mismatches are the fault of Joshua Project, not the photographer. Please contact us if you believe a photo is not matched with the correct people group.
Percentages may be printed as '0.00%' because of space limitations, but some are slightly greater than zero.
The exactness of the above numbers can be misleading. Numbers can vary by several percentage points or more.

Joshua Project does not have specific ministry activity data supporting the "Other Progress Indicators."
Discrepancies may exist between "Other Progress Indicators" because of the varying sources of information.
Joshua Project does not know the exact content of web audio recordings. In general they are Bible reading and teaching.
As on-site realities are understood, barriers of acceptance may be found in many of the larger people groups that will require multiple distinct church planting efforts.
