Ramadan Prayer Emphasis

Join us this year for 30 days of prayer, March 10 – April 9, 2024. This year’s Ramadan prayer plan will highlight four specific locations and communities. We will pray for the Hui of Ningxia, the Dongxiang of Gansu, the Salar of Qinghai, and the Dungan of Kyrgyzstan.

The Hui

The Hui, about 14 million people, are the largest and most widespread of China’s Muslim nationalities. They also comprise the third largest minority group in China. Out of 14 million Hui people, less than 1% have heard the Gospel.

The Dongxiang

The Dongxiang people, with a population of 621,500, are the fourth largest of China’s 10 Muslim people groups. The largest concentration of the Dongxiang people is in the rugged, dry mountains of Gansu Province. Most are isolated from the outside world with few if any opportunities to hear the Gospel.

The Salar

The Salar people migrated from the Samarkand region of Central Asia many centuries ago. According to oral tradition their forefathers bound a copy of the Koran to the head of a camel and followed it until it stopped at a waterfall and turned to stone in their present home of Qinghai province in Northwest China. Today two-thirds of the 120,000 Salar people still live in this small area of Xunhua County, Qinghai province.

The Huihui

The Huihui are a small unreached people group of about 10,000 people found in Sanya on Hainan Island. The Huihui identify themselves as part of the Hui minority group in China. However, they realize they are different. They have slightly different facial features and skin color and look more Malaysian than Chinese. In fact, they trace their ancestry back to Malaysia, Cambodia and/or Vietnam.

The Dungan

These approximately 150,000 people live in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and are descendants of Chinese Hui who migrated from Chinese in the 19th century. They have retained an old oral dialect of Chinese language, but write in Cyrillic.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”

Matthew 9:37-38
