Aghul in Russia


Aghul in Russia

When Jesus spoke in parables about sheep and their shepherds, he was speaking to people such as the Aghul of Russia. Aghul men are renowned shepherds, and the women tend to the village households, especially in the harsh winter months. Dagestan is a rugged, mountainous region, where people value toughness and hard work. The Aghul have lived in Dagestan for millennia and were converted to Islam after the Arab conquest of the eighth century.

Ministry Obstacles

Dagestan is difficult to enter because of its ruggedness and because of government interference.

Outreach Ideas

Because the literacy rate among the Aghul is low, they are better reached through oral means. The JESUS Film is a powerful tool, along with gospel recordings, skits and songs. There are people regularly praying for the Muslim peoples in this region of Russia.

Scripture Focus

"Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long."  Psalm 25:5

Scripture Prayer

Pray that this very year many from this people group will seek the Lord for the right path to true righteousness and guidance.

Prayer Focus

Thus far, there is only one known Aghul believer. Pray for this individual to continue clinging to Christ and to make disciples of those who are spiritually hungry. Pray for a growing interest in Isa (Jesus) among the Aghul people. Pray the Lord would show them who Jesus truly is: the only way to the Father. Pray for those who are serving the Aghul people to be encouraged and for their numbers to increase.
