The right to govern the Western Saharan territory has been under dispute for many years and the territory is under a long-term ceasefire. Many Saharawi people have lived in refugee camps in the Saharan desert their entire lives and maintain a desire to have a land that is self-governed. 

Even so, Christ is calling this people to be His own. 

There is a large need in the Western Saharan region for intercessory prayer and worship and a need among Saharawi refugees for basic health education, vocational training, and dignifying friendships in order that this place and its people would find their peace and identity in Christ.
