Pray for Kyrgyzstan

June 14, 2010 – 4:24 pm

The Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan - specifically the southern region - is being ripped apart by ethnic violence. Uzbeks - people from the neighboring Uzbekistan - living in southern Kyrgzstan and native Kyrgz have had skirmishes before and many fear that a civil war could erupt.

A temporary government that came to power in April of this year is unable to maintain control and is requesting outside aide for help in quelling the violence.

Please pray that God would mercifully restore peace to this region of the world; that believers would boldly explain to their neighbors, family, and countrymen that the turmoil that they ought to fear the most is that they are at enmity with God and that He is at enmity with them because of their sin and that Jesus is their only hope to true peace;  that God would allow believers to continue to meet for instruction and fellowship in the form of public worship; and, lastly, that God would send gospel laborers to Krygyzstan and Uzbekistan.
