Pray for Bandini Kurds
Jesus, light of the world, break through the darkness and cause every lie to fall, and bless the Badini Kurds with visions and dreams of the Saviour of the world. "May your light shine out of darkness and into their hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6). We pray that you would bring a spirit of unity and peace amongst the Badini people, so that they discover the fullness of truth that can only be found in you. Lord, you know each of these people by name. Would you please bring delight into their families as they experience the richness of your mercy and love? We look forward to your return, and on that day, may we find many of the Badini Kurds among those who call upon the name of the Lord. Amen.

The Badini Kurds speak a dialect of Kurmanji, the largest Kurdish language. They usually inhabit regions of northern Iraq, especially around the Dohuk and Zakho areas, as well as parts of Syria and Turkey. The Badini endeavour to make independent decisions from Iraq’s Baghdad government. They are typically farmers who raise goats and cattle. Amidst war and rebellion in the land, the Badini have endured much suffering and persecution, including water scarcity that has affected their agricultural industry.
Most Badini are Sunni Muslims. There is a smaller group of rebels that have been associated with secret and unorthodox Muslim sects. Only 0.14% of Kurds in Iraq have been changed by the Gospel so mission work often faces many challenges.
