Tatarstan and Bashkortostan are Russian republics that share a common border and culture. The Tatars and Bashkirs also share a Muslim heritage — they are essentially one family group. “Only a few letters in our languages are different, but we can understand each other. There are a lot of Bashkirs in Tatarstan and a lot of Tatars in Bashkortostan,” said Venera*, a TWR Tatar ministry leader. When content is created specifically for Tatars, it also reaches Bashkirs. And so, the ripples of God’s work through TWR’s Tatar ministry touch more than just the 5.7 million people for which it is intended. Hope knows no barriers. twr.org/reach-the-last *a pseudonym (fb)
