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
Azerbaijanis are admirable people with many noble qualities. But like all people, there is much in their culture that needs to be redeemed. They have endured much hardship from oppressive governments to unstable economies.
They are a people who need Jesus. As Azerbaijanis are becoming increasingly open to the Gospel, now is the time that prayer can have the greatest impact.
