Gospel Reaches Beyond Capital City

[146] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan is a small nation of 10 million people tucked among the Caspian Sea, Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Russia. Its population is 85% Shia Muslim and 2% Christian. Christian ministry efforts have historically focused on the country’s capital city, Baku, where 25% of the population lives. But local Christians have increased their efforts to reach beyond the capital. “Christians are using media to connect with Azerbaijanis outside of Baku,” said a front-line worker. Through social media, Christians are connecting with those interested in learning more about Christ and hand-delivering Bibles to them. The front-line worker asks for prayer that freedom to make those kinds of visits will continue, that more people will be reached beyond the capital, and for an increased spirit of unity among Christian leaders so outreach efforts can be multiplied.
