North African Berbers call themselves by a different name: the Imazighen, literally the “free men.” But the Berber people are anything but free. Since the seventh century when Arab invaders introduced Islam to these original inhabitants of North Africa, the Berbers have endured centuries of political oppression and spiritual darkness. They are a people layered away from the gospel by geography, by culture, by language and by the folk Islamic beliefs that shroud their lives.
Come with us as we journey to North Africa to see how, despite these barriers, God is touching the lives of North African Berbers as He works to set these captives free.
