Pray for the Middle East and North Africa
Pray for 666 people groups in 22 countries
The Middle East and North Africa are home to 331 ethnic groups. Many live in more than one country, and each country where they live counts as its own people group, because their lives and needs differ from place to place. That makes 666 people groups across 22 countries. Each time you pray you get to know one of them, starting with those prayed for least.
