Tsudakar in Russia
soo-dah-KAR
The Tsudakar people were traditionally hat makers and vendors who are scattered across Dagestan in eight cities and a number of small villages.
Ministry Obstacles The Tsudakar have been Muslims for more than 600 years. Like many followers of Islam, it is more than just a religion for them; it is part of their social and cultural identity. Though a very few Tsudakar have professed their faith in Christ, there is no church planting movement yet.
Outreach Ideas While Bible portions are available, the Tsudakar are still waiting for the New Testament and full Bible to be translated into their language.
Scripture Focus "And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, Amen, Amen, lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground." Nehemiah 8:5-6
Scripture Prayer May this people group have Holy Spirit reverence for the Lord when they hear His word.
Prayer Focus Pray for the few Tsudakar people who have put their faith in Christ to be used to share the gospel with their families and friends. Pray for the Lord to open the hearts of the Tsudakar to his message of good news.
Ask him to call and equip Bible translators who are willing to invest their lives and talents in this unreached people group.
Ask the Lord to launch a church planting movement that will draw the Tsudakar into fellowship with him.
