30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World
- Ramadan Day 04 (for Wednesday)
Written by a Christian in Kazakhstan
My Kazakh friend invited me recently to visit our town's newest congregation, a gathering of several people at another friend's home. I went, my heart full of anticipation. We were sitting in the living room, mostly on the floor. I was surprised that so many had come. All spoke Kazakh, a Turkic language.
Orinbek explains that there has been a spiritual breakthrough recently. An old Kazakh woman shouted, “Do you remember how I was a month ago? I was so nervous and agitated. Have you noticed the change in me?” Others confirmed that there had been a great change in her. It is my prayer that there would be such a church on every street of our town. It is a real “house of God”.
Kazakhstan is the size of most of Western Europe, with 16 million inhabitants. Of those, 9 million traditionally share the religion of folk Islam. Whereas there were hardly any Kazak believers in 1990, we are estimated to number over 10,000 today! The church of God is continually growing.
* Differences in culture and language are a great challenge for the emerging Kazakh churches. Pray for unity.
* The Gospel has not yet reached most of the villages and rural areas. Pray that the Kazakh churches have the courage and the wisdom to meet this challenge.
* Pray for healthy families and courage to be a witness for Jesus.
* Corruption, prostitution, and crime are everywhere present. Pray for the country and the president (1 Tim. 2:1-4).
* The New Testament and half of the Old Testament have been translated into the Kazakh language. Pray for the work of the Bible translators, that the Kazakhs would soon have the whole Bible in their native language.
