Introduction

The Kulobi are a sub-group of the Tajik of Tajikistan. Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, there was a seven-year civil war in Tajikistan. The Kulobi emerged as the dominant group in the government and economy. Today the Kulobi work in government, education and business. The economy of Tajikistan is growing and the Kulobi are reaping the benefits.


Ministry Obstacles

The Kulobi are proud of their high position in Tajik society. Pride can easily prevent people from coming to Christ.


Prayer Focus

Pray for spiritual discernment and openness among the Kulobi.
Pray for all to have the chance to see and respond to the JESUS Film in Tajik.
Pray for a movement to Christ among them.
There are no known believers among the Kulobi, so pray this will change soon.


Scripture Prayers for the Kulobi in Tajikistan.
