Laz, Lazuri of Turkey
In Turkish folklore, the Mingrelian have a reputation for plundering and piracy. They were notorious as kidnappers, and until the 1800's, they engaged in slave hunts focusing on young children. Today, however, they are respected as industrious, educated, adventurous, and trustworthy people.
Ministry Obstacles
Scripture resources are needed in their language.
Outreach Ideas
Georgian believers could be challenged to minister to the Mingrellian in both Georgia and Turkey. Gospel recordings in the language are available.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray those who consider themselves to be Christians will in fact place their faith in the finished work of Christ, and joyfully give thanks to the Father who has qualified them to share in the inheritance of the saints.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray each Mingrellian individual will soon have an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ in their language and in an understandable form, which they will both understand and accept.
