Most likely the Qaragozlu people migrated to their current homeland in East Azerbaijan Province in the 1700s.
Because of their dark eyes, they are called "Black-Eyed" or "Kara-Gozlu" in Turkish. They speak South Azerbaijani, a Turkic language.
The Qaragozlu can be farmers, herders or traders. Many are now businessmen who have contributed to the development of their homeland.
Unlike the Shia Muslim majority in Iran, the Qaragozlu are Sunni Muslims like their Turkic ancestors.
The Qaragozlu people need to be given the chance to hear the life-changing gospel so they can enjoy life to the full.
Pray for loving gospel workers to catch a vision for reaching the Qaragozlu people for Jesus and that in God's sovereign timing the hearts of these people would be open and ready to follow him.
Pray for Jesus movements to bless extended families so the gospel will spread rapidly.
Pray for the spiritual lives of the Qaragozlu people to become fruitful so others will be drawn to Jesus Christ.
people need to be given the chance to hear the life-changing gospel so they can enjoy life to the full.
