Chechens began moving to France in the 1990s because of the Chechen Wars in Russia. They have a strong sense of cultural pride, and they work to preserve their language and traditions. The Chechen community in France is known for its tight-knit social structures, and Chechens rarely marry outside their ethnic group. They have a reputation for not integrating well into French society. Many French citizens, including French Christians, would say that they are scared of Chechens. Chechens worldwide practice Sunni Islam. Pray that the Lord will bless believers in France who desire to build trust relationships with Chechens. Ask Him to give evangelical French churches a vision to reach the Chechens around them. Pray that the gospel will take root among Chechens and that they will take a bold witness back to Russia.
