ABOUT 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.
OUR VISION
To see a Jesus movement among Azerbaijanis worldwide,
so that every family is touched by the Gospel
and every Azeri community has a thriving locally-led church
