Welcome to Central Asia
April 7th, 2008Welcome to the Central Asian Republics blog site. Here you will hear stories from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. While we are at it we may throw in a few stories from Western China and the Uigurs. The Central Asian Republics are mostly unknown to people living in the West but they are not unknown to God. He has been working with them from the beginning and in these last days He has poured out His grace and love on them like never before. Many are calling on the name of Jesus for the first time and His Kingdom is growing in tangible and intangible ways. On this blog we will relate how God is moving and how you can be a part of what He is doing here among the Central Asian Republics.
A Tajik poet wrote:
O Tajik People, O people of grief
Tears in their eyes like orphans
Anger on their lips like captives
In a Forgotten Land they wept alone
Wont you join us in prayer and labor for the peoples of Central Asia that they may not weep alone anymore, but rather they will:
Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 12:6
