The Laz people

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today.

Romans 8:28

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

The Laz People

In Turkish folklore, the Laz had a reputation for plundering, piracy, and kidnapping. Today, however, this indigenous people group are respected as industrious, educated, adventurous, and trustworthy people. Centuries ago, many Laz converted to Christianity. When the Ottomans conquered Turkey in the fifteenth century most Laz became Sunni Muslims. Today, many Laz in Turkey are known for their traditionally conservative Islam.

Prayer Point:

Thank you, God, that in your love and mercy you are working everything for the good of the Laz people who love you. Thank you that no matter how bad their circumstances, you can transform them for the benefit of your children. Call more Laz to join you in your purposes for Turkey. I pray for every disciple maker among the Laz to persevere and learn from mistakes as they sow seeds and disciple new followers. I pray for grace to not get discouraged by mistakes but to trust that the Lord is working all these things together for good.

Understand the Urgency

February 4, 2025

Disciplemaking Principle: Understand the Urgency of the Task Jesus tells his disciples that we will not know the hour in which he will return, but that we should always be ready. Disciple Making Movements focus on the urgency of the task at hand - all peoples, nations, tribes and languages hearing the good news of Christ.

Rejoice and Sing!

February 3, 2025

Psalm 66:4-7 "Everything on earth will worship you;     they will sing your praises,     shouting your name in glorious songs. Come and see what our God has done,     what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea,     and his people went across on foot.     There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever.     He watches every movement of the nations;     let no rebel rise in defiance."
