Maarulal Avar in Azerbaijan


Maarulal Avar in Azerbaijan

Avar people are the largest linguistic group of Dagestan in Russia and historically the most powerful. Honor/shame is a high code, deeply ingrained in the Avar cultural psyche. This is true throughout all of the Dagestani people groups, but perhaps most pronounced in the Avar. Some of them live in nearby Azerbaijan.

Ministry Obstacles

The cultural affinity for revenge prevents them from forgiving or repenting, two things essential for a relationship with the living God.

Outreach Ideas

Hope of grace is springing up among the Avar. There are now several Avar believers! The New Testament has been completed in the Avar language, as well as Genesis, Proverbs, Ruth and Jonah.

Scripture Focus

"The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him."  Psalm 28:7

Scripture Prayer

May this be the attitude of many from today’s people group.

Prayer Focus

Thank almighty God for new believers among the Avar! Pray for blessings upon God's Word in Avar. Pray for men and women of peace in each Avar town and village to be keys to welcoming the love of God, the grace of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit into each Avar household. Pray for dreams and visions among open-hearted Avar, both young and old. Pray for courageous men and women to find Christ's grace by the power of the Holy Spirit.
