january Focus: Central Asian Peoples

Here are some Central Asia facts.  Most Central Asian churches have been planted in the last 30 years. Less than 0.01% of Central Asians are followers of Jesus. 176 Muslim people groups in Central Asia have no known Christians. We have one family serving there from our “wall”.

Turkey, one Central Asian country, is a Muslim country in its traditions, but it is actually a place that offers freedom of religion. This means that local churches can boldly and freely do evangelistic outreach in many ways. Just like in the United States, Christmas and Easter are great times for evangelistic outreach in Turkey. In large cities across the country, Christmas outreach services with upwards of 500 people took place during December. Hundreds of New Testaments were distributed to those curious enough to attend. Pray that those who received New Testaments will feel compelled to read them and be drawn to Christ as they read His words.

Around 10,000 Narrow Passage People live in the narrow Central Asian valley they call home. It is a land of steep gorges and precipitous climbs, beautiful and stark. These people have very similar cultural practices and are nearly indistinguishable from their neighbors in most ways. Almost entirely Muslim, they are known as a people of strong magic, and their valley is the place to go to find someone capable of a powerful curse or a healing spell. There are ancient religious sites throughout the valley, shrines and holy trees with an Islamic veneer but that predate Islam by many years. This is a very spiritually dark place, difficult to reach and not very responsive to the gospel. Natural disasters and development work have opened opportunities to share with these people, but very few believe. Pray for a bridge being built in one village there. Ask that it will lead to clear gospel presentations, and pray that the Narrow Passage People will respond with faith.
