There are around 30 million Algerians who speak Arabic and are almost entirely Muslim. The Kabyle and Shawiya are the second and third largest ethnic groups in Algeria which are two different tribes of Berbers who have lived as shepherds and farmers for years in the rugged mountains. Pray also for other ethnic groups in Algeria.

There are many Algerians in other countries, which include 1,875,000 in Egypt, 478,000 in France, 232,000 in Germany, 68,000 in Canada, and 60,000 in the United States. Pray for them, watch for them, and see if you can make an Algerian friend.

Share Biblical resources in Arabic, Berber (Tamazight) and, Kabyle.
