The city of Rawalakot, the capital of the Sudhan tribe, suffered significant damage from the 2005 Kashmir earthquake.
Sudhuns are a tight knit community. They highly value education of women.
Wahabi influence has recently been noted among the Sudhans. This is among the most conservative and devout forms of Sunni Islam.
Pakistan is generally hostile to Christian witness, made worse by Wahabi influence.
Focused, sustained prayer is needed to prepare the hearts of the Sudhan community to receive the gospel when it comes. Only the Holy Spirit can break through.
There likely are no followers of Christ among the Sudhan community. Pray for those that the Lord will soon call to himself, that they will clearly understand the grace and truth offered through faith in Christ, resting fully on his finished work on the cross, and the power of his life within them.
Pray for the proud Sudhan community to clearly see their need for a savior and recognize Jesus as the provision God has provided.
