  Unreached of the Day: Kurd, Sorani of Iraq


Kurd, Sorani of Iraq
The Kurds are a large ethnic group that has long lived in the same region, and which traces their roots back to the Medes of ancient Persia. It has been said that Kurds "hold their Islam lightly," not identifying with their faith as closely as most Arabs do. Many Kurds still feel some connection with the ancient Zoroastrian faith, seeing it as an original Kurdish spirituality that far predates the seventh century AD arrival of Muhammad. Nonetheless, most Kurds are Sunni Muslims.

Ministry Obstacles
The Kurds may not fully understand who Jesus claims to be, and the reasons why we can believe Him. Pray for understanding.

Outreach Ideas
The ancient Christian community in Iraq may once again gain strength and influence. Pray for this, and that they will be able to help carry the good news of Christ to the Kurdish community.

Pray for the followers of Christ
The Lord is beginning to call the Kurds to Himself. There may be only a few Kurdish believers today, but pray for them and for the many additional Kurds that will soon follow Christ. Pray their roots will extend deeply to Christ, that their faith will be well informed. Pray they will have power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

Pray for the entire people group
Pray for the Kurds of Iraq to know continuing peace, and for freedom of religion to be experienced. Pray for stability and safety throughout Iraq.

Scripture Focus
"Now it will come about that in the last days, The mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it." Isaiah 2:2
