Haima (pop. 7,814, Arabic: هيماء) is the capital of the Al-Wusta region, and seat of the Haima district (pop, 10,093). The town was settled after a team of oil explorers sunk a water well there. This was the first permanent water source in the Jiddat al-Harasis desert. The town is one of the few stops with services along the main desert highway connecting the north of the country to the south. In 1982 a school for boys and later one for girls was opened in Haima. Families from the nomadic Harasi tribe have increasingly settled in this location while schools are in session.

Haima District covers the majority of Al-Wusta region, and is mostly desert. It is home to the Arabian Oryx reserve, and most of Oman’s oil and natural gas reserves. There are also some famous caves in the area for exploring.

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. (Psalm 63:1) We bless the people of Haima to earnestly seek the Living God, and to be satisfied!

Pray for the Town and District of Haima:

• Glory of God.  That God would be glorified and exalted and worshipped in Haima. (Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 138:4-5)    
• Expansion of the Kingdom.  That many people in Haima 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 Haima, 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 Haima. 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 Haima 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 Haima. 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)
