Introduction

Bedouins typically follow a hierarchy of loyalties based on the closeness of kinship that runs from the nuclear family through the lineage, the tribe, and even to an entire ethnic or linguistic group. Disputes are settled, interests are pursued, and justice and order are maintained by means of this organizational framework. The individual family unit typically consists of three or four adults (a married couple plus siblings or parents) and any number of children. Life is semi-nomadic and pastoral.

Ministry Obstacles

Saudi Arabia is very hostile to any kind of Christian witness.
