Description: The Uygur are an eastern Turkic tribal confederation united under a common ethnic identity. (Uygur means unity.) They claim to descend from Turkic and Indo-European tribes.
Prayer Points:
• There has been massive migration of the Han Chinese in Xinjiang province with at least 400,000 believers among them. Pray that these believers will have a burden to reach their Muslim neighbors.
• The New Testament is being updated in Uygur. Pray for God's blessing on the translation team and for permission to print and distribute it in China.
• The Uyghur church in Kazakhstan continues to grow. Pray that God will use these believers to evangelize their relatives across the border in Xinjiang.
A Prayer: Father, release creative ways to reach the Uygur with the Gospel through the internet, media, music and other venues of communication and expression, in Jesus' name.
Every year 104,000 Uyghur die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
