The Harasi are an isolated, nomadic tribe in Jiddat-al-Harasis, the central gravel desert of Al-Wusta region. They are a distinct people group with a unique language, related to but different from Arabic. They eke out a living as camel and goat herders in an extremely harsh environment. Today many have found employment with the oil companies, or are involved with preservation efforts of the oryx. They number about 5000, although speakers of Harsusi are less, between 1000-3000. Here is a short video of the Harsusi language, mixed with Arabic.

God, we pray for the Harasi people in Al Wusta, that they would:

• Come and Worship You. Psalm 86:9 – “All the nations (ethne) You have made will come and worship before You, O Lord; they will bring glory to Your name.”
• See Your Glory. Isaiah 66:18 – “And I, because of their actions and their imaginations, am about to come and gather all nations (ethne) and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.”
• Hear the Gospel clearly in their Heart Language. Matthew 24:14 – “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
