Pastors Pay Huge Fines for Teaching Children about Christ

[146] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for children's ministry.

Some governments in Central Asia have outlawed all ministry to children. Nevertheless, Christians in the region remain committed to teaching young people about the Bible and Jesus Christ. In recent years, numerous pastors have had to pay fines for their outreach efforts. “The bank accounts of one pastor were checked and analyzed. When his activities were found, he had to pay a huge fine,” said a front-line worker. While the stress of constant governmental scrutiny has caused some leaders to step back, ministry work continues despite fees and harassment. Local pastors and church leaders ask for prayer that outreach to children may continue and that they will be allowed to worship and share Christ freely.

  • Father, please continue to give courage and wisdom to the church in how they can reach out to children so they can know Jesus. Draw many young people to Jesus. Blind the eyes of the authorities so they don't see these activities (except what you want them to see). Thank you that you are not restrained in how you can reach out to people. Amen.
