Nogai of Russia

Nogai of Russia The name Nogai derives from the name of one man. Nogay, grandson to Genghis Khan, was an outstanding chieftain and the real leader of the Golden Horde. He was the ruler of these people west of the Danube. Nogay was killed either in the year 1294 or, according to other sources, 1300, but his name remains. The Nogays live in scattered linguistic enclaves. In recent times several waves of migration have swept into Nogay territories. Some of these have come from other regions of Caucasia. The relations of the Nogays with recent settlers in the Nogay Steppe are strained and extremely inflammable. The reasons for conflict are primarily economic. An especially destabilizing influence has been the immigration of the Dargwas from Dagestan. Ministry Obstacles The Caucasus is very difficult for Christian workers to enter. Outreach Ideas Please pray that Christian radio will be made available throughout the Caucasus, and that people will find it and listen. Pray for the followers of Christ There may be no followers of Jesus today among the Nogai people. But pray that even now the Lord will be preparing those who will come and help them find Christ. Pray for the entire people group Pray for peace in the Caucasus region. Ancient animosities are at work in this region.
