The North American Azerbaijani Network will host a forum to focus on mission to the gateway Azerbaijani people of Azerbaijan and Iran on April 24-26 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The 40 million Azerbaijani have only 10,000 believers (0.02%), and are a strategic people group for impacting the Persian, Turkic, Arabic, and Russian worlds.

The North American Azerbaijani Network exists to (1) raise awareness in the North America of the strategic need for mission to the Azerbaijani people, (2) to inspire, equip, and facilitate the involvement of those who feel called, (3) and to provide an information clearinghouse for those in mission to the Azerbaijanis.
The forum will provide (1) vital information and a first staging point for your church’s or agency’s entry into work with the Azerbaijanis, (2) a better understanding of the strategic importance of this people group, and their cultural, historical, and spiritual importance in the Central Asian and surrounding worlds, (3) a place to hear of the successes and difficulties of work efforts in an interactive format with people who have many years of experience amongst the Azerbaijanis, and (4) up-to-date information on the hopes and dreams of the emerging national church.

There will be opportunity to meet workers, leaders, agencies, resource people, and partnership facilitators, both national and ex-pat, and to gain a better understanding of this people group and how your organization might get involved.
