Central Asian Unengaged Peoples

The Nuristani peoples are made up of seven distinct groups, each having their own language. They are found in a remote mountain range in northeastern Afghanistan and some parts of Pakistan. Being very isolated has helped to preserve their culture but has also hindered basic development. Healthcare and good food sources are some of their greatest needs. The Nuristani peoples follow the Sunni sect of Islam along with some practices of mysticism through amulet and charms. They are a completely oral society, and none of their languages are written; however, some Bible recordings exist. Please pray not only for their physical needs to be met, but also their spiritual needs. Pray that the gospel will penetrate these isolated areas and that the Nuristani will one day shine Jesus’ light.
