Pastor Seeks to Register New Church
Despite government restrictions, one pastor in Turkmenistan hopes to register his church soon. Christian worship has been limited to churches in government-sanctioned denominations, but other churches do exist. The pastor said, “Since 2007, no church has been registered in Turkmenistan. We are praying for a miracle!” The church is small but has active outreach events, such as a sports ministry for youth, despite experiencing past pressures and even arrests for its Christian ministry work. Pray that the Lord’s favor will be on the church’s application and that this small community of faith will grow. “We are deeply grateful for your faithful prayers and support as we continue walking together for the kingdom of God,” the pastor said.
