May 31 / Ingush

Description: The Ingush are a Caucasian ethnicity related to the Chechen in the North Caucasus region of Russia. Many have migrated to the city of Grozny, capital of the Chechen republic, though the majority continue to live in the republic of Ingushetia. Their republic has been destablized by the military conflict in neighboring Chechen Republic, and deteriorating human rights through government corruption.

Prayer Points:
• The Ingush converted to Islam in part to counter Russian influence. They view Christianity as the religion of their oppressor. Pray for the restoration of the true nature of faith in Jesus and for reconciliation between the Ingush and the Russians.
• The Ingush were accused of helping the Germans in World ar II and their lands were taken from them by the Russians. Pray for their healing from this historic wound through Jesus and the restoration of God's purposes for them as people.
• The Ingush have a history of blood feuds between clans. Pray for the gospel of peace to bring the forgiveness of Christ within the hearts of the Ingush.

A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the Ingush be brought to a complete understanding of who you are and the fullness of your love in Jesus.

Every year 3,000 Ingush die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
