Introduction

Ingush in western Russia practice animal husbandry from their six villages. They speak their own language, but there are many other Muslim people groups in their part of western Russia. There are probably about thirty scattered Ingush followers of Christ. Ingush need these few believers to shine with the light of the Holy Spirit and take Christ's great name to every Ingush village. At least one Russian Christian believer has reached out to the Ingush.

Ministry Obstacles

Islam is a strong spiritual deterrent to those who might look to the cross for answers. It is also a cultural anchor for the Ingush in a country dominated by Russian Orthodox.
