Orochi in Ukraine
oh-ROH-chee
The Orochi are among the peoples groups in Russia’s far east. They come from a land where few can live, so most have moved to Ukraine and other parts of Russia where they can make a living. They are in the process of adapting to a far different culture than they had in eastern Russia.
Ministry Obstacles
The Orochi people are Buddhist, shamanistic or marginally Russian Orthodox. Their state of spiritual confusion might be a barrier to accepting the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Outreach Ideas
Perhaps they have the spiritual openness to accept new ideas. Some have become marginal Christians in Russia. Few, if any, have embraced Jesus in Ukraine. Perhaps Orochi believers in Russia can take Jesus to others in Ukraine.
Scripture Focus
"For he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise." Mark 9:31
Scripture Prayer
Pray for today’s people group would comprehend that Jesus died for their sins and rose again demonstrating His power over sin and death.
Prayer Focus
Pray for spiritual hunger to permeate Orochi society, giving them the desire and ability to follow Jesus. Pray for the Lord to thrust out the right workers to these people who desperately need a savior. Pray for a movement to Christ among the Orochi in both Russia and Ukraine.
