North Caucasus
People in the North Caucasus need access to the good news of who Jesus is and what He's done for us.
While the Caucasus region is composed of the nations that lie between the Black and Caspian seas, the North Caucasus specifically refers to the southern part of the Russian Federation, including the republics of Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia-Alania, Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan.
The church is small in the North Caucasus, and it can be difficult for Christians to share the message of Jesus’ love with their neighbours in the face of cultural pressure and persecution. The region is particularly difficult to reach with the gospel message because of political instability, government corruption and ethnic strife. Amidst these difficulties, though, believers are living out the love of Jesus that brings peace and unity.

Pray that Russian Jesus followers moving to the North Caucasus will have wisdom in communicating the gospel message in their new communities.
Pray that Russian churches will be burdened for the people of the North Caucasus and increase their support of Christians in the area.
Pray that believers in other parts of the world, including me, would also be burdened and consider how we might join God’s work in the North Caucasus.
