- Dimili Kurds
-
The Kurds as a group are the largest ethnicity in the world without their own state. Their territory called “Kurdistan” encompasses parts of Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey where the bulk of the estimated 25 million kurds live. Within this group are various smaller groups divided by dialects and culture of which the Dimili Kurds are one such group. There is an estimated 4 million Dimili kurds who speak Dimili they are considered amongst the world’s least reached with the gospel. According to Gordon Conwell – Theological Seminary’s Center for the Study of Global Christianity they rank in the Top 168 Least Evangelized Megapeoples (One million or more population in the year 2000 and less than 50% evangelized)
According to Mission Frontiers Nov/Dec 04 issue “Which Peoples Need Priority Attention” and its Jan/Feb 05 Issue the Dimili Kurds are in the Top 10 of Unreached People Groups needing attention. As of this writing the Dimili Kurds are still in need of evangelization and church planting efforts. Our focus here is to encourage missionary/church planting endeavors, help those seeking additional information, and point attention to reaching the Dimili Kurds through prayer.
