Darginian, Dargwa of Russia

Darginian, Dargwa of Russia
The Darginian are a large ethnic group in Daghestan, in the Caucasus region of Russia. The history of the Darginian is one of struggle, being constantly conquered over the course of centuries: first by the Huns, then by the Turks, the Mongols, the Persians, and in the 19th century, by the Russians. Daghestan is one of the strongest bastions of conservative Islam in the former Soviet Union. Since the 11th century, Islam has been the predominant religion of the Darginian. The influence of Islam has remained strong and is even increasing.
Ministry Obstacles
The Caucasus region is quite unstable, and the people do not welcome Christian influence or presence.
Outreach Ideas
Much prayer is needed to prepare the peoples of the Caucasus to desire to know the Prince of peace, Jesus Christ.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There are likely no followers of Christ among the Darginian people yet and all of their near neighbors are unreached. Pray for an interest in this area by God's people.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray for peace in the Caucasus region: peace between ethnic groups and with the Russian government.
Scripture Focus
"All nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord, they will bring glory to your name." Psalm 86:9
