The Afshars (sometimes spelled Avshar) are a nomadic turkic tribe which originated in central Asia and is now found in parts of Iran, Syria and Turkey. Many Afshari make their home in the area surrounding the Iranian city of Kemerman.

Currently, there are no known believers among the Afshari living in Iran who are very resistant to the Gospel..

Pray that Afshari people who may have studied abroad and become believers in Christ will return to their people and spread the gospel.

Pray for translation of the Bible to begin in the primary language of the Afsharis.

Pray for the availability of the Jesus Film in the primary language of this people.
