Introduction

The Khorasani Turks live in the northern part of the Khorasan Province of eastern Iran. Khorasan is the largest province in Iran and is an important agricultural area. Therefore, most of the Khorasani Turks are farmers. Others are craftsmen of jewelry and glassware while others make carpets and rugs.

Ministry Obstacles

Khorasani Turks are Muslim, and their society is organized around traditional Muslim rules. The family, led by the father, is the major social unit. Khorasani Turks are a forgotten people, living in a very remote corner of the world.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that God will cause the revelation of his love and his word to run swiftly across Iran until he is honored and worshiped by the Khorsani Turks.
With modern technology there are possible inroads through satellite television and radio. Pray for this to happen.
Pray for Christian families to move in among these family-oriented Khorsani Turks who will love them with the Savior's love.
Pray that those families will live the word of God among the people providing them with a picture of Jesus' identity.
