Who are the Azerbaijanis?
Azerbaijanis are a Muslim-background people of about 40 million. They are concentrated in the Caspian Sea region in northwest Iran and Azerbaijan. With less than 2% as known followers of Jesus, they are considered one of the world's largest unreached people groups.
Their roots are in the Caucasus Mountains. Their language is a Turkic language. And their history is intertwined with Persians and Russians. So as they are reached with the Gospel, they have high potential for reaching others throughout Central Asia and the Middle East.
Azerbaijanis need prayer
Ramadan begins at sundown on Wednesday, March 22nd. With all of the hardships that Azerbaijanis have faced over the past few years, including war in nearby Ukraine, economic hardships, and anti-government protests in Iran, some may be more inclined to seek God’s favor in the only way they know how--through Islam. That is why we are inviting many people to join us in daily prayer during this holy month for Muslims.
