A Challenging Existence for Believers

[268] prayers in [16] nations have been posted for Christian in Central Asia.

Life is difficult in Central Asia for believers simply trying to support their families. A believer in Azerbaijan intended to purchase some land for a small business. However, he did not want to pay the usual bribe to the mayor. After spending a month in prayer ahead of the purchase, he went to the mayor’s
office with his request. The staff there accused him of being a Satanist, and he was jailed for 15 days. After he was released, the Christian went back to
the office with his request. The mayor’s office agreed to the sale, but without any official paperwork. That meant the believer would not really be in control
of the land, and his shop could be torn down at any time. After consulting with Christian leaders, the believer decided it would be best to purchase land and
establish the business in the next town over, where land is more expensive, but where he is less known as a Christian. He’ll be able to do this legally and
with proper documentation. Pray this man will not be discouraged amid all these challenges and that his testimony will plant seeds in the lives of others.
