Mission Highlight - The Dongxiang people in China
The Dongxiang people of China, numbering around 775,000, descend from Mongol soldiers who settled in the region during the 13th century. Though officially Muslim, many Dongxiang are marginalized even within the broader Islamic community due to social challenges. Their language has Mongolian roots, and literacy is low, with few fluent in Chinese. Most work as farmers or in traditional rug-making. The gospel has not taken root among them, and there are no known Dongxiang believers. Pray for workers to bring the good news, for hearts to be softened, and for a church planting movement to begin among the Dongxiang.
