(CHE-chen) – “So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name” (Acts 5:41 NKJV). The Chechens are an ancient, brave people known for their courage and resiliency despite the great difficulties and traumas inflicted upon them. Pray that these traumas will compel them to seek and find Jesus and to be courageous in their efforts to follow Him.
