In Iran, all ethnic Persians and those from Muslim backgrounds (even if not practicing) are considered Muslims. Anyone who converts to Christianity is declared an apostate and could face death. The Iranian constitution recognizes the historic minority religions of Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and Christianity, but it does not allow churches to preach or distribute materials in…

Between 2005 and 2010, Christianity in Kuwait had an annual growth rate of nearly 6%. Christian meetings are allowed, but only in certain designated compounds. More space is needed. The large minority group of “Bidoon”, or stateless Arabs, has no known believers.  Pray for the salvation of Kuwaitis studying in nations where the Gospel…

Sunni Islam is the official religion of Kuwait, and 60% of the people follow that faith. Twenty-five percent are Shi’a Muslims, and 14% are Christians. The underground church is growing quickly in numbers and maturity.  Give thanks for Christian satellite TV, radio programing, and websites that are effective tools that are reaching numerous Kuwaitis…

Fear of radical Islam has led to many religious restrictions. Preaching, distribution of religious materials, and registration of churches is very difficult, if not illegal.

Kyrgyz cultural identity is so tightly associated with Islam that accepting Christ can be a difficult decision. Muslims intimidate believers through property destruction and physical violence.

Kyrgyzstan is primarily a Muslim state with 89% of the population declaring themselves followers of Mohammed. New laws limit freedoms of speech and religion as well as other Christian activities.

Prior to independence, Christianity was mostly non-existent, but today there are as many as 1,000 followers of Jesus. With all foreign missionaries expelled, several pastors exiled, beaten, or imprisoned, and the Bible not yet fully translated, the spread of the Gospel in Turkmenistan faces great challenges. Yet, the church continues to grow amid constant threat….

Although the constitution of Turkmenistan claims religious freedom, the reality is quite different. With Sunni Islam (89%) and Russian Orthodoxy (9%) considered the only two legal religions, persecution of other faiths is prevalent. Unregistered religious gatherings are forbidden, often suffering grave consequences. But persecution and restriction have only strengthened the Turkmen Church.  Ask that…

Western Sahara has been occupied throughout its history.
