The Tangshuri people are also known as the Tangshewi people. Their language and culture are related to that of the Tajiks. Their homeland is in northeastern Afghanistan near the Tajikistan border. Some might also be found in Turkmenistan.
The Tangshuri are Muslims. Some Christian audio recordings have been translated into their language.
The Tangshuri people need to submit to Jesus Christ so they can experience the abundant life He offers them in John 10:10.
Pray that the Tangshuri people will have a spiritual hunger that will open their hearts to the King of kings. Pray for workers who are driven by the love and boldness of the Holy Spirit to go to them. Pray for a Disciple Making Movement among them to begin this decade.
