_Dear Praying Friends
Central Asia is a land with a past. We think of the Persian Empire and the Turkish-dominated Silk Roads that ran throughout this region. In the 20th Century, Russia took control of much of this region, as the Ottoman Empire imploded after World War I. Russia, which became the Soviet Union in 1917, collected many of the countries there as “Soviet Socialist Republics.”
With the Soviet Union gone, the countries it once controlled are now independent. What decisions will they make? Will they return to their Islamic roots, which were damaged during the 70 years of communism? Or will they use their freedom to find Christ, the Savior who can bring truth and salvation to their lands? Let’s pray that this region with a past will become a spiritually strong region of the future.
In Christ,
