Description: The Druze are an ethno-religious community in the Middle East which emerged in the
11th century as an offshoot of Ismaili Shiite Islam. Though they speak Arabic they are
regarded as a distinct ethnicity from Arabs today. They are thought to be an
ammalgamation of various ethnic groups that converted to the religion over the
centuries.
Prayer Points:
• The Druze have a militant past and believe that one day their founder will return to conquer the world by force. Pray for deliverance from a spirit of violence and that the power of Christ might transform them into a nation of peace and blessing.
• The Druze mix heretical Gnostic beliefs with monotheism. Pray for deliverance from deceptive ideologies and that the Biblical truth might displace all wrong thinking about God and creation.
• Though there is no full time outreach to the Druze, there are a few among them who have responded to evangelistic efforts. Pray for a movement to Christ that will bring the entire Druze community into the Kingdom of God.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the light of truth in Jesus break through among every genuine seeker of righteousness among the Druze.
Every year 8,000 Druze die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
