Seekers<br />
Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek<br />
me with all your heart.<br />
<strong>Somali</strong> people have a great interest in gaining knowledge and are<br />
passionate truth seekers. They can be found in chat rooms where<br />
<strong>the</strong>y seek spiritual knowledge and are engaged in anonymous<br />
online bible correspondence courses. They are curious about<br />
Christianity and Islam and usually have many questions. They<br />
love to dialogue about faith and are not shy about confronting<br />
<strong>the</strong> person with confusing questions during <strong>the</strong>ir conversations.<br />
You can see it quite often happening that when somebody comes<br />
in first contact with Christianity, that <strong>the</strong>y usually get very<br />
protective of <strong>the</strong>ir Islamic roots and make an external show<br />
of <strong>the</strong>ir faith by expressing very traditional and strict rules of<br />
Islam. They become much more conscious of <strong>the</strong> Five Pillars of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir faith, and <strong>the</strong> women make an outward show of conserving<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves in veils and traditional clothing. <strong>Somali</strong>s who seek to<br />
know more about <strong>the</strong> Christian faith, are much more com<strong>for</strong>table<br />
outside of <strong>the</strong>ir national environment and <strong>the</strong>y are less fearful of<br />
being stigmatized as a betrayer of <strong>the</strong>ir faith.<br />

A Christian community, inside and outside of <strong>the</strong> country, faces<br />
<strong>the</strong> challenge of answering spiritual questions and being ready to<br />
testify about Jesus Christ.<br />
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am <strong>the</strong> way and <strong>the</strong> truth and <strong>the</strong><br />
life. No one comes to <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r except through me.”<br />
Pray against <strong>the</strong> spirit of confusion and <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> eyes of <strong>the</strong>se<br />
precious people to be touched supernaturally so <strong>the</strong>y will see<br />
<strong>the</strong> truth clearly<br />
Pray that Christians will be ready to share <strong>the</strong> Good News<br />
Pray <strong>for</strong> better access to Christian radio and TV programs in<br />
<strong>Somali</strong>a<br />
