Northern Pashtun in Chile
pahsh-TOON

"Passionate" is a word that well describes the Pashtun tribes, which originated in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are said to love or hate with equal intensity, displaying fierce loyalty to friends, yet defending the right of "badal" (revenge) or blood feuds with enemies. Since Chile is a peaceful, prosperous nation, the Pashtuns who were used to constant war are learning to enjoy peace and prosperity there.

Ministry Obstacles
Most Pashtuns in Chile, having been there for a long time, are less likely to be open to change than they were when they first arrived.

Outreach Ideas
There is a strong Christian presence in Chile that can potentially affect Muslim communities that are looking for spiritual satisfaction.

Scripture Focus
"For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried."  Psalm 66:10

Scripture Prayer
Pray for the Lord to test and purify today’s people group.

Prayer Focus
Pray that the few Pashtun believers would reach out to the Pashtun Muslims around the world. Pray for the Holy Spirit to kindle a desire among Pashtuns for true spirituality that only comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Ask God to call those who are willing to share Christ with Pashtuns in Chile. Ask God to soften the hearts of the Pashtuns toward believers so that they will be open to the gospel. Pray for an unstoppable multiplication of churches among the Pashtuns that will affect their communities in Chile and beyond.
