New Testament completed Uzbekistan, one of the former Soviet Republics, is struggling to understand what it means to be Uzbek instead of Soviet. The economy, education, and political leadership are all making strides away from the Soviet model into their own. The recent political changes and economic hardships have left the Uzbeks and Tadjiks in Uzbekistan remarkably open to change. Now, as never before, they are ready for a church of their own.
Muslim leaders make it difficult for Christian missionaries to enter.
Pray for open doors, for more servants who will go, and for Uzbeks to see Jesus through these Christian workers. A few small fellowship groups have formed in the past few years. Pray for their growth, maturity, and persevering walk with the Lord.
