A century ago world powers left the Kurds off their newly drawn maps. Pen, paper and powerful men established lines that crisscrossed the traditional homelands of the Kurds. These lines helped create the modern boarders of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey, but not Kurdistan.
Though map makers of old overlooked the Kurdish people, God never did. Our Lord promised that His glory would one day be among all peoples, including the Kurds. Some Kurds believe the turns of history prove they are a despised people.
A Kurdish proverb says, “The Kurds have no friends but the mountains.” Yet the creator of the mountains has established a way for the Kurds to step beyond friendship and become full heirs of His Kingdom. Please join us in Seven Days of Prayer for the Kurdish people, who will one day find their home in Jesus Christ. Begin 7 Days of Prayer now
