pronounced: BOZZ-nee-aks
Bosniaks are typically characterized by their tie to the Bosnian historical region, traditional adherence to Islam, and common culture and language. Once spread throughout the regions they inhabited, various instances of ethnic cleansing and genocide have had a tremendous effect on the territorial distribution of their population. Partially due to this, a notable Bosniak Diaspora exists in a number of countries.
The Bosniaks have experienced much harm over many years from those who have called themselves Christians. This isn't easy to overcome.
Christians need to build friendships with the Bosniaks, serving their physical and material needs as that is possible.
After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a great roar, “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!” Rev 7:9-10
Pray that many members of this people group will be part of the vast crowd praising God in heaven.
There are a few followers of Christ among the Bosniaks. Pray they will be bold in their witness for Christ, yet loving and tactful. Pray they will live holy lives, zealous to know and serve Jesus Christ. Pray the Bosniak people will understand that Jesus desires to bless their families and communities. Pray that the Bosniaks will hunger to find out more about Jesus (whom Muslims call Isa al-Masih), referred to in the Koran. Pray the Lord will open their eyes to his true nature, and will draw many Bosniaks to himself.
