SUPPORT CHRISTIANS IN CENTRAL ASIA
Christians in Central Asia are facing huge challenges, and we
want to invite you to help them. Our partner and his co-workers
travel to countries like Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan
to help local Christian workers who are sharing the good news
of Jesus and discipling new believers who face persecution.
Most Christians in Central Asia are unable to lead ordinary
lives. They can be arrested for reading the Bible in a public
place like a bus or a train, or for telling other people about Jesus.
Often the homes of local pastors or believers can be searched
and their belongings confiscated by the police because everyday
Christian activities like praying together, or doing a Bible study
can be deemed as ‘illegal.’
Take Tajikistan, for example. New churches that do not have
their own buildings cannot hold Sunday services in other buildings
because it’s prohibited by the police.
Obtaining permission from the government is very difficult and
complicated. Also, they do not have the resources to purchase
a building. So, they are forced to worship in secret and if they
are caught doing this they could face interrogation and heavy fines.
Release channels financial resources to local Christian workers
across Central Asia through our trusted ministry partners. When
the going gets hard they can count on our prayers and support to
help them stand strong in their faith. Release Int. Please donate.
