Introduction

Algeria’s form of Arabic borrows several words from the earlier Berbers. The Berbers dominated Northern Africa before being displaced by Arab invasions in the seventh century. Today, virtually all tribes are Sunni Muslim with Islam having been adapted to their local traditions and culture.

Ministry Obstacles

As Muslims, the Arabic-speaking Algerians believe that they must please Allah by obeying the right laws. They reject the idea of looking to a sin-free savior.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that Algerian Arab believers would grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus and the Bible.
