Yemeni of New York City
Quick Info
Concentrated Area(s):
Bay Ridge (Brooklyn), Van Nest (Bronx)
- Yemeni
Why are Workers Needed?
Yemen is 99% Muslim, and the country has resisted the presence of Christian missionaries. In New York City, however, Christians can access Yemenis in the city’s numerous Yemeni-owned bodegas (small grocery stores). There are only a handful of Yemeni Christians in the United States, so cross-cultural missionaries are needed.

Prayers for Yemeni of New York City
Lord, bring your peace to Yemeni families in New York City. Many Yemeni families are constantly fighting and caught up in cycles of dysfunction. May the Prince of Peace make their families whole.
Lord, may Christians be bold and loving in sharing Christ with Yemeni bodega workers throughout the city.
Lord, establish the first Yemeni church in New York City that will reach out to family and friends in Yemen, and to other Arabs in the city.
You are the Lord of the harvest. Raise up laborers in your Yemeni harvest field in Brooklyn and the rest of the city.
