Year 1: The 7 countries & some primary issues – booklet, bookmark, video – VHS.

Year 2: 28 different cities of the AP or where Arabians visit – booklet, brochure, DVD.

Year 3 (Lord, willing - 2007): Key unreached people groups of the AP.

--
Country Specific Networks:
There are also Yemeni, Omani, & Saudi Arabian prayer-advocacy networks with regular emails lists & semi-regular meetings. The Yemeni & Saudi peoples also have a website. Booklets are available on the Yemeni peoples & various materials on the Saudi peoples & cities.
