Pastors Pay Huge Fines for Teaching Children about Christ

[5] prayers in [3] 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.

Abba Father, we pray that You will provide for everyone that is involved in Children Ministry in Central Asia; this commission will thrive and it will lead to the saving grace of all of these young ones, in Jesus' name.

  • OLORD, protect the Good News to these children & their families. May their numbers grow & their faith be magnified, in Jesus name. May these fees & fines be provided by your power. May unbelievers see your provision for your children & be amazed at your power. Magnify Jesus in Central Asia, for your glory. Amen.
