Ad-Dakhiliyah region (Arabic: الداخلية, population: 478,501), meaning 'the interior', lays in the inside of the Hajar mountains, geographically isolated from the coastal regions. For centuries it was ruled by Ibadhi imams as a distinct government from the Sultan in Muscat, and only became part of the Sultanate in 1959. It is the heart of conservative religion and culture, and home to majestic mountains, green date palm oases, and historic forts. 

Nizwa is the region's ancient capital and cradle of conservatism, and Bahla is another significant city known for its occult power and practices. Bahla's fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Nizwa's fort is the most-visited tourist site in the nation. The Daris Falaj (irrigation canal) system is the water of life in the region, and likewise a UNESCO World Heritage site.

This region has 9 districts: Nizwa, Bahla, Adam, Bidbid, Al-Hamra, Izki, Manah, Samail, and Jebel Akhdar. Ad-Dakhiliyah is the cultural and spiritual heart of the nation. As it goes here, it goes with the of the nation. Pray for breakthrough in this strategic region!

• There has been much Gospel witness in this area over the years, but there currently is very little Christian presence now. Please pray for more Harvest Laborers to come into this region once again.
• There is a sense “hiddenness" in this region—villages tucked high away in mountains, walled fortresses, geographic isolation, occult darkness. Pray for His light and His love to pierce the darkness and pursue the lost.

Worship with us!: Reckless Love by Cory Asbury.  May the Dakhiliyah region know the reckless love of the Father!

Matthew 18:14 Focus—‘Your Father in heaven does not want one of these little ones to be lost.’ 

Please bring these towns and villages before the Father!
