Release International Prayer Shields, Eritrea and Central Asia

Updated: Oct 30, 2019

Eritrea

Continue to pray for the many prisoners of faith held in Eritrea. Many are arrested arbitrarily and held in inhumane conditions, including shipping containers in the desert.

Central Asia

Pray for the New Life Pentecostal Church in Almaty, Kazakhstan, which faces charges of large-scale fraud. Police reports claim they found a weapon and ammunition on the premises – claims the church strongly denies.

Central Asia

Three Baptist churches in Taraz, Kazakhstan, have been raided by anti-terrorism officers and their leaders fined. Pray for wisdom for these leaders: many Kazakh Baptists have refused to pay fines on principle.

Central Asia

Administrative prosecutions limiting religious freedom – which have ranged from fines to meeting bans – have risen sharply this year in Kazakhstan. Pray that many inside Kazakhstan will find freedom in Christ.

Central Asia

Pray for three Christians from Sheki, northern Azerbaijan, who were fined for holding a home Bible study. Pray that this experience will only deepen their love for the Word of God.

Central Asia

Pray for wisdom for Azeri Christians Safqan and Gulnar Mammadov, each facing stiff fines for having religious literature and hosting a children’s meeting. The Shirvan Appeal Court recently rejected their appeal.

Central Asia

Ask God to encourage Pastor Hamid Shabanov, leader of a church in Aliabad, Azerbaijan, who has been arrested and fined many times for hosting religious meetings, despite attempts to register his church.
