Yazidi in Turkey
The Yazidi are a Kurdish people who follow an old
religion related to Zoroastrianism, but which has remnants of Hinduism,
Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Their origins are in Iran, Iraq and
Turkey. In Iraq they have been violently persecuted so many times in the
last couple of decades that some have fled to Turkey in hopes of
finding safety and the possibility of moving to the West.Ministry Obstacles
The theology of the Yazidis is so peculiar and misunderstood that it will be hard for someone to know where to start with them.
Outreach Ideas
As long as the Yazidis are in refugee camps, believers can take them needed food and water, and keep the people occupied with wholesome activities like sports, art and Bible studies.
Pray for the followers of Christ
As far as we know, there are no followers of Christ among the Yazidis in Turkey, so pray for the Lord to change that during this time of suffering.
Pray for the entire people group
* Pray for the light of Christ to shine upon the Yazidis in Turkey. * Pray for believers to reach out to them in their Diaspora. * Pray for believers among them to be accepted as Yazidis who believe in Jesus and not rejected as cultural traitors. * Pray for strong Yazidi based fellowships to emerge during their time of crisis.
Scripture Focus
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. Colossians 3:11
