Communities Where He Is Least Known
Muslim communities
Central Asia is home to nearly 73 million people from a wide diversity of cultures and lifestyles. Within this region are dozens of communities where less than 0.5 per cent of the people know the Lord. The disintegration of the Soviet Union opened new opportunities for ministry in Central Asia. Islam has become the dominant and fastest-growing religion in this region. Amid opposition from their communities and governments, God is at work in the lives of Central Asians, breathing a young but vibrant indigenous church into existence. Central Asian believers desperately need workers to come alongside them to reach those who have not heard the gospel.
Rural people of Kyrgyzstan
In Kyrgyzstan, there is a long history of passing stories down to younger generations. As a nomadic people moving with their herds throughout the region’s mountains and valleys, storytelling was very important for sharing their people’s history and for entertainment in their yurts in the evenings. Stories based on a historical king in the region far surpass all others and were eventually compiled into a poem. This story is so important to the culture that many people study the poem their entire lives and children are expected to memorize and recite segments of the poem. Our workers are learning the language of this people group so that they can share the story of Christ our King with friends.
