Yemeni Arab in Yemen


Yemeni Arab in Yemen

Once part of the ancient Sabaean kingdom (750 BC to 115 BC), Yemen was later ruled by the Himyarites, Romans, Ethiopians and Persians. It was conquered by Muslim Arabs in the 7th century. Today we consider them Arabs. Today Yemen is at the extreme poverty level. Most are engaged in agriculture. Their civil war is weakening them in every way.

Ministry Obstacles

Yemenis view foreigners as a threat, especially given the international involvement in their civil war. The Islamic religious system is ingrained in their identity.

Outreach Ideas

Believers need to build bridges of friendship and trust with Yemeni Arabs. Christians can help them in providing healthcare and refugee work.

Scripture Focus

"And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever."  Revelation 4:9-10

Scripture Prayer

Pray for members in this people group to give glory, honor and thanks to the God who sits on the throne.

Prayer Focus

Pray the few followers of Christ among these Arabs would strongly cling to their faith in a harsh environment. Pray the Lord would protect them and teach them to fully trust in him in their difficult circumstances. Pray for the Arabs of Yemen to improve their standard of living, find employment and provide schooling for their children. They are in extreme poverty and are under random bombing attacks from the Saudis. Pray for safety and peace for the country. Pray that this peace would open doors for those who come as Christ's ambassadors. Pray they would enjoy what Christ offers: life to the full.
