The Ingrian Izhor are also called Izhorians. Their homeland is mainly in Russia, through some live in Ukraine. They do not speak their own language; those in Ukraine speak Ukrainian and those in Russia speak Russian. There is a related group in Finland.
Those in Russia live near St. Petersburg, so the founding of that city had a large impact on their lives. They faced much hardship in WWII during the Siege of Leningrad.
For the most part, the Izhor people live like the Russians and Ukrainians.
The Izhor people are either Eastern Orthodox or Lutheran. They retain some pre-Christian religious practices.
The Izhors need to give Jesus the primary place in their spiritual lives.
Pray for Izhor Christian believers to disciple others.
Pray for a spiritual hunger that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave.
Pray for the Izhor Christians to be salt and light to others during this time of turmoil in Ukraine and Russia.
Scripture Prayers for the Izhor, Ingrian in Russia.
