Turkmen Christian Flees Government Oppression

[86] prayers in [7] nations have been posted for Turkmen Christian.

A bi-vocational evangelist has fled Turkmenistan after being threatened by authorities. He has been active in sharing his faith and had previously been arrested, along with other Christians, for attending Christian worship services. He was also fined for his evangelistic efforts. Authorities now want to charge him for work he did at his place of business. “But he feels the government is really using that as an excuse to arrest him for his Christian activities,” said a front-line worker. Our Turkmen brother requested prayer for wisdom and that he would be reunited with his family.

  • The price of being a true CHRISTIAN in any non-CHRISTIAN country is very high. Your faith is greatly tested by your peers and by the government. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that " without faith it is impossible to please GOD"; and faith grows by trials, 1Peter 1:7. I earnestly pray for this evangelist, that he will be strong in his maturing process.
