Guhayna in Sudan


Guhayna in Sudan

The Guhayna are a nomadic Sudanese Arab tribe whose name is synonymous with all Sudanese nomads. A common culture binds these Sudanese Arabs with other Arabs around the world: rigid codes of honor, loyalty and hospitality.

Ministry Obstacles

Conversion from Islam to Christianity is not accepted and there can be serious consequences. Consequently, there are few Sudanese Arabs who follow Christ. Despite Christian workers in Sudan for many years, most effort concentrates on the southern Sudanese, neglecting the country's Muslim majority.

Outreach Ideas

There are a number of gospel resources in their language. Pray for opportunities to use these tools effectively.

Scripture Focus

"For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself."  Hebrews 3:3

Scripture Prayer

Pray for God to grant this people group the wisdom to know that Jesus’ glory far exceeds the glory of any human prophet.

Prayer Focus

There are probably a few followers of Christ among the Guhayna people. Pray they would live holy lives and would be joyful always, praying continually and giving thanks to the Lord in all circumstances. Pray God would use them to draw the entire Guhayna tribe to Jesus Christ. Please pray for adequate rainfall for the crops and livestock of the Guhayna Arabs and for pure drinking water. Pray for a spiritual hunger that will lead them to the cross.
