The Orochi are among the peoples groups in Russia’s far east. They come from a land where few can live, so most have moved to Ukraine and other parts of Russia where they can make a living. They are in the process of adapting to a far different culture than they had in eastern Russia.
The Orochi people are Buddhist, shamanistic or marginally Russian Orthodox. Their state of spiritual confusion might be a barrier to accepting the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Perhaps they have the spiritual openness to accept new ideas. Some have become marginal Christians in Russia. Few, if any, have embraced Jesus in Ukraine. Perhaps Orochi believers in Russia can take Jesus to others in Ukraine.
"Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:5
Pray that the believers in this people group are clothed with humility and grace.
Pray for spiritual hunger to permeate Orochi society, giving them the desire and ability to follow Jesus. Pray for the Lord to thrust out the right workers to these people who desperately need a savior. Pray for a movement to Christ among the Orochi in both Russia and Ukraine.
