Persecution in Central Asia

An ever-increasing wave of persecution is hitting CEF® workers in Central Asia. One worker in the region was recently imprisoned for 10 days and was warned the next time he is caught teaching children about Christ he would be imprisoned for 10 years.

Another couple in Tajikistan has seen their ministry all but stop due to the government forbidding more and more activities. Things that were possible just a few years ago such as Good News Clubs, Bible correspondence courses and camps have been shut down. They have also been interrogated several times by the secret police.

Please pray for the safety of our workers in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and the Lord to provide open doors for ministry.
