    Stony Desert and Beautiful Beaches

    Al-Jazer (Arabic: الجازر) is a district (pop. 5,645) on the southeast coast of Al Wusta region. The district is primarily made up of small fishing villages, and is known for its beautiful beaches and unique ecology, including pink lagoons! 

    Up until the 1970s, the local inhabitants here lived in dark, cave-like stone houses. The rocks are in plentiful supply, in the gravel desert area of Jiddat al-Harasi. But today they live in modern housing, with the stone houses now used for storage.

    “Like living stones, let yourselves be assembled into a spiritual house” (I Peter 2:5) May the people of Al-Jazer be living stones built into His House!

    Pray for the District of Al-Jazer:

    • Glory of God.  That God would be glorified and exalted and worshipped in Al-Jazer. (Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 138:4-5)    
    • Expansion of the Kingdom.  That many people in Al-Jazer will come to know Jesus, and that communities of believers will be planted, that movements will be ignited. (Luke 1:32-33, 2 Cor 10:15-16)
    • Hearts and Minds.  That spiritual blindness and bondages will be lifted from the minds of the people in Al-Jazer, and that hearts will be stirred with hunger for Jesus and truth. (2 Cor 4:4, Luke 24:45)
    • Authority.  Pray with the authority that Jesus gives you over principalities, powers and spiritual strongholds in Al-Jazer. Pray that God would release prophetic words over the land, releasing visions, dreams, signs and wonders in Jesus’ name. (Matthew 18:18, 2 Cor 10:4)
    • Revival.  That any believers living in Al-Jazer would be awakened by the Holy Spirit, have love and passion stirred in them for the lost, and rise to meet the need in their neighborhood. (Luke 10:2, Ezekiel 37:10)
    • Provision.  That God would bring His provision and blessing to all those in need in Al-Jazer. That He would show His eternal kindness, demonstrate the blessing of His Kingdom, and cause His people to prosper. (Philippians 4:19, Jeremiah 29:7)
