The family is central and is the crux of traditional organization in Oman. Traditionally, the Omani family has been a patriarchal institution, and the father has been tasked with disciplining the children. The extended family is called upon with any problem issues that need to be resolved.  

The traditional Omani family has offered peace and security, as a stable family unit is highly valued by Islam/Omani Muslims. It has been the source of encouraging unselfish behavior, generosity, respect, and love. That said, the Omani family, like all other family institutions around the world, is undergoing dramatic changes due to globalization, Information Technology, and the Communication Revolution.  

"See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are!" (I John 3:1a)

Lord, help Omanis to come to a deeper, more accurate understanding of Your love for them, and Your will for their lives, in order to fill their voids and restore their family relationships. May You give them grace and strength, and may they find salvation, healing, and restoration in Jesus. Amen.

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