Central Asian Unengaged Peoples

The Shabak are a Kurdish people group who have been looked down upon as a minority group by the majority culture in Iraq ever since they migrated from Persia to Ninevah around the 1600s. The word Shabak in Arabic means “intertwine.” They have some Sufism mixed in with their Shia Islamic beliefs. There are no known Shabak people in the world outside of Iraq. Please ask God to send a gospel witness among the Shabak. Pray that their difficult circumstances will push the Shabak to seek out believers nearby. Ask God to use the internet or satellite television to bring the good news to those whom He is drawing to Himself.
