三月份祈禱的要點
為阿曼祈禱的要點
![]() Al-Wusta Region A Desolate Beauty Al Wusta region (pop. 52,344) sits in the middle of the country, between Dhofar to the south and Adh-Dhahira, Ad-Dakhliya, and Ash-Sharqiya to the north. Al Wusta (الوسطى) means "central" in Arabic. The regional capital is Haima, situated along the main highway running north to south. This area is sparsely populated but contains the majority of Oman's oil and gas reserves and a new industrial port at Duqm. It is also home to the nomadic Harasi people, with their own distinct language (Harsusi). The ‘Jiddat Al–Harasis’ stone desert covers the majority of the land here, but there is surprising ecological diversity. There are over 130 different species of birds, including migratory birds from as far away as Europe. The Barr Al Hikman peninsula is especially known for visiting flocks of flamingos. Further inland, the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary was established to protect this native breed of antelope that lives in the desert areas of the Arabian Peninsula. Other animals that can be found at the sanctuary include Nubian ibex, Arabian wolves, and Arabian gazelle. Truly, there is life in this seemingly desolate wasteland— may this be true spiritually as well! “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild beasts will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.” (Isaiah 43:19-20) May the people of Al Wusta receive Your streams of living water!

荒涼之美
烏斯塔(https://goo.gl/maps/35XYppLMXNKVozn57)行政區(人口5萬2344)位於該國中部,位於南部的佐法爾和北部的扎希拉、達希利亞和沙基亞之間。烏斯塔(الوسطى)在阿拉伯語中的意思是「中央」。行政區首府是海馬,位於南北走向的主要高速公路沿線。該地區人口稀少,但擁有阿曼大部分石油和天然氣儲量以及位於杜格姆的新工業港口。這裡也是遊牧民族哈拉西人的家園,他們擁有自己獨特的語言(哈拉西語)。
「哈拉西斯平原」礫質沙漠覆蓋了這裡的大部分土地,但這裡的生態多樣性卻令人驚訝。這裡有超過130種不同的鳥類,包括來自遙遠歐洲的候鳥。巴爾希克曼半島尤其以成群的火烈鳥來訪而聞名。在更遠的內陸地區,建立了阿拉伯長角羚羊保護區,為了保護這種生活在阿拉伯半島沙漠地區的本地品種的羚羊。在保護區可以看到的其他動物包括努比亞羱羊、阿拉伯狼和阿拉伯瞪羚。說實在的,在這片看似荒涼的荒地上,存在著如此多的生命力-但願這在屬靈生命上也是如此!
「看哪,我要作一件新事,如今要發現,你們豈不知道嗎?我必在曠野開道路,在沙漠開江河。野地的走獸必尊重我,野狗和鴕鳥也必如此。因我使曠野有水,使沙漠有河,好賜給我的百姓、我的選民喝。」(以賽亞書43:19-20)願烏斯塔的人民得到你的活水溪流!

![]() Al Wusta Rains Let It Rain in the Desert! The stony desert of Al Wusta gets an average of less than 2 inches of rain a year. However, monsoon rains in other areas cause humidity to rise and fog and dew to form during certain seasons. This precipitation is enough to sustain some sparse vegetation and animal life. As welcome as the rare rain is, the people of Al Wusta need the heavenly rain and living water of the Holy Spirit! Declare this over Al Wusta: Wilderness and desert will sing joyously, the badlands will celebrate and flower— Like the crocus in spring, bursting into blossom, a symphony of song and color. Springs of water will burst out in the wilderness, streams flow in the desert. Hot sands will become a cool oasis, thirsty ground a splashing fountain. Even lowly jackals will have water to drink, and barren grasslands flourish richly. (Isaiah 35:1-2, 6-7, The Message) May this harsh and barren land rejoice and come alive in the rain of its King!

讓沙漠下雨吧!
烏斯塔的礫質沙漠每年平均降雨量不到2英寸【5釐米】。然而,其他地區的季風性降雨會導致濕度上升,並在某些季節形成霧氣和露水。這種降水足夠維持一些稀少的植被和動物的生命。盡管罕見的雨水受人歡迎,但烏斯塔的人民需要天上的雨和聖靈的活水!
為烏斯塔宣告這些話:
曠野和乾旱之地必然歡喜,沙漠也必快樂,又像玫瑰開花。 必開 花繁盛,樂上加樂,而且歡呼。黎巴嫩的榮耀,並迦密與沙侖的華美,必賜給它。人必看見耶和華的榮耀,我們神的華美。 那時瘸子必跳躍像鹿,啞巴的舌頭必能歌唱;在曠野必有水發出,在沙漠必有河湧流。 發光的沙要變為水池,乾渴之地要變為泉源;在野狗躺臥之處必有青草、蘆葦和蒲草。 (以賽亞書35:1-2,6-7)
願這片嚴酷貧瘠的土地在君王的雨露中歡欣鼓舞、煥發生機!

![]() The Harasi People Isolated Nomads The Harasi are an isolated, nomadic tribe in Jiddat-al-Harasis, the central gravel desert of Al-Wusta region. They are a distinct people group with a unique language, related to but different from Arabic. They eke out a living as camel and goat herders in an extremely harsh environment. Today many have found employment with the oil companies, or are involved with preservation efforts of the oryx. They number about 5000, although speakers of Harsusi are less, between 1000-3000. Here is a short video of the Harsusi language, mixed with Arabic. God, we pray for the Harasi people in Al Wusta, that they would:

與世隔絕的遊牧民族
哈拉西人是烏斯塔行政區中部礫質沙漠哈拉西斯平原的一個與世隔絕的遊牧部落(http://www.nomadsinoman.com/)。他們是一個明顯不同的民族,擁有獨特的語言,與阿拉伯語相關但又不一樣。他們在極其惡劣的環境中靠放牧駱駝和山羊勉強維持生計。如今,許多人在石油公司找到了工作,或者參與了長角羚羊的保護工作。他們的人數約為5000人,但講哈拉西語的人數較少,在1000至3000人之間。這裡(https://vimeo.com/49967608)有一段哈拉西語與阿拉伯語混合的簡短視頻。
神啊,我們為烏斯塔的哈拉西人禱告,望他們能夠:

![]() Omani Families, Pt. 1 The Bedrock of Omani Society 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. Worship with us!: God’s Family by Tommy Walker.

阿曼社會的基石
家庭是阿曼傳統組織結構的核心和關鍵。傳統上來說,阿曼家庭是一個父權式架構,父親的任務是管教孩子。任何需要解決的難處和議題都需要大家族來解決。
傳統的阿曼家庭提供了和平與安全,因為伊斯蘭/阿曼穆斯林高度重視穩定的家庭單位。它一直是鼓勵無私行為、慷慨、尊重和愛的堅定後盾。也就是說,阿曼家庭與世界各地所有其他家庭架構一樣,由於全球化、信息技術和通訊革命,正在經歷巨大的變化。
「你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛,使我們得稱為神的兒女;我們也真是他的兒女!」(約翰一書3:1)
主啊,請幫助阿曼人更深入、更確切地理解你對他們的愛,以及你對他們生命的旨意,以便填補他們的內心的空虛並恢復他們的家庭關係。願你賜給他們恩典和力量,願他們在耶穌裡找到救恩、醫治和復興。阿們。

![]() Omani Families, Pt. 2 Challenges Facing Families Some observers believe that the patriarchal family, which has been the cornerstone of Omani society, is undergoing a crisis. This is due in large part to open doors for multitudes of women to enter the workforce, and appears to be revolutionizing the traditional understanding of family roles. Today’s Omani women enjoy better education and good health services that give them the option to delay marriage and childbearing. Contraception is giving women growing control in this arena. This reduces the fertility rate and family size. Mothers working outside the home also greatly change the traditional family dynamic and roles. Many young Omani men are also delaying marriage, because of high unemployment rates and high costs of dowries and traditional weddings. High dowries have also led to an increase in marrying foreigners. Divorce rates have also been increasing, nearly doubling in 2020 due to the pandemic. Let’s pray for Omani families:

面臨挑戰的家庭
一些觀察者認為,作為阿曼社會基石的父權式家庭 正在經歷危機。這在很大程度上是由於勞動力市場對為數眾多的女性打開了進入的大門,並且好像正在徹底改變傳統上對家庭角色的認知。
如今的阿曼婦女享有更好的教育和良好的醫療服務,這使她們可以選擇推遲結婚和生育。避孕措施讓女性在這個領域擁有越來越多的話語權。這降低了生育率和家庭規模。母親從家中外出工作也極大地改變了傳統的家庭關係動態和角色。
由於高失業率以及高昂的嫁妝和傳統婚禮成本,許多阿曼年輕男子也推遲結婚。高額嫁妝也導致與外國人結婚的人數增加。離婚率也在不斷上升,由於新冠疫情,2020年離婚率幾乎翻了一番。
讓我們為阿曼的家庭禱告:
與我們一同敬拜吧!《講述耶穌》(https://youtu.be/FpGYImM_VeM),此為雄獅樂團。願許多阿曼人轉向耶穌來醫治他們的家庭!
