There are two main Jewish groups from Iran: Mashadi and Tehrani Persian Jews. Some of the largest populations of them in the world are in New York and Los Angeles, respectively.

The Soninke have a substantial presence in New York City and Cincinnati. Many of them come from the country of Mali. There might be only one Soninke church in the world (and Islamic militant activity in the area prevents Christians from frequently meeting). Join us in prayer today for the 20,000 that live in North…
