Durbet, Dorwoten in Mongolia
The Durbet, like other Mongols, are known for their
love of fine horses and horse racing. Many of the Durbet live as nomads,
and their lifestyle is one of seasonal migrations. Their dwellings are
portable tents called gers or yurts, made of felt on lattice frames.
Some have become settled farmers. Oral historic poetry is an important
part of Durbet culture. It is traditionally recited by a poet,
accompanied by a two-stringed lute called a dombr. The Durbet were
traditionally animists and shamanists, but in the late 1500s they
adopted Tibetan Buddhism.Ministry Obstacles
Spiritual opposition is to be expected whenever the name of Jesus is exalted. Pray that workers will be prepared for this.
Outreach Ideas
The Lord is building his church in Mongolia. Pray some of these new believers will be burdened to take the good news of Jesus to the Durbet people.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for those the Lord will soon call to himself from the Durbet tribe, that they will be zealous to know and follow Jesus.
Pray for the entire people group
Medical facilities among the Durbet are inadequate. Limited water supply, poor hygiene, deficient diet, and alcoholism are all common problems.
Scripture Focus
"And those who lead many to righteousness [will shine] like the stars for ever and ever." Daniel 12:3
