Dungan in Kyrgyzstan

Dungan in Kyrgyzstan
The Dungan originated in the Kansu and Shensi provinces of northwestern China. They are a mixture of Chinese, Muslim, and Russian cultures. They are a proud, hospitable, nationalistic, and conservative people. Although they have completely cut their ties to China, they refer to themselves as Hui-Zu, or "Chinese Muslims." The Dungan are famous for their hospitality and hold many ceremonies and banquets to preserve their former culture. The older people strictly observe Islamic law, but the younger Dungan are somewhat unconcerned about religion.
Ministry Obstacles
Workers should be prepared for spiritual opposition, which can be predicted whenever the name of Jesus is held high.
Outreach Ideas
The Jesus film and portions of scripture are available in the Dungan language. Workers are needed to carry these resources to the people.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for the few followers of Christ among the Dungan, that they will fellowship together and hear the call to share the gospel with their neighbors.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray for peace in Kyrgyzstan, and for a stable, effective, and just government.

"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." Revelation 11:15
