The homeland of the 20 million Kurds are Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. They have in all these countries a hard time.
[edit] The peoples of the Kurd Cluster:
[edit] The Kurds in Germany
[edit] The Situation
There are about a half million Kurds in Germany, most of them as guest workers, other have fled their home lands, because they felt threatened. There are some organisations in Germany, who try to present the Gospel to this people. There are portions of the Bible in their languages, in one of the languages a New Testament is in progress to be printed, there are Christian radio programs, videos and films.
[edit] Please, pray
Please, pray that more German Christian get a burden, to become a witness for their Kurdish neighbours. Other Christians are working at the same place as some of the Kurds, that they can witness to them.
[edit] The Kurds in Canada
Perhaps six thousand Kurds now live in Southern Ontario, Canada. Hamilton, Ontario, a city of half a million people, is home to about 2,000 Kurds. Most of the Kurds in Hamilton come from Northern Iraq and speak a Kurdish language called Sorani. They have fled Iraq during and subsequent to Saddam Hussein’s mass killings of Kurds through chemical and conventional warfare. Those who have gone to Canada as refugees are survivors.
