UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP OF THE DAY The Durbet of Mongolia Population: 78,000 99.9% Tibetan Buddhist Few Believers The Durbet, like other Mongols, are known for their love of fine horses and horse racing. Many of the Durbet live as nomads, and their lifestyle is one of seasonal migrations. Their dwellings are portable tents called gers or yurts, made of felt on lattice frames. Some have become settled farmers. Oral historic poetry is an important part of Durbet culture. It is traditionally recited by a poet, accompanied by a two- stringed lute called a dombr. The Durbet were traditionally animists and shamanists, but in the late 1500s they adopted Tibetan Buddhism.

Nehemiah 9 4 Standing on the stairs were the Levites— Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani and Kenani—who called with loud voices to the LORD their God. 5 And the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah—said: "Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting.
In all that has happened to us, you’ve been just; you’ve acted faithfully, while we did wrong.
Nehemiah 9 4 "In view of all this, we are making a binding agreement, putting it in writing, and our leaders, our Levites and our priests are affixing their seals to it."
