The Kurds are the largest ethnolinguistic group without a home country. Following WW2, many Kurds left the Middle East, and some settled in Central Asia. Kurds value family and education.

Prayer Request:

Pray for God to touch the hearts of the people in this group and draw them to Himself. Pray for persons of peace to be discovered in this group. Pray for every stronghold and lie of the enemy to be broken. Pray for fresh anointing and boldness for the disciple makers and for protection and provision for those engaging with this group.
