TAJIKISTAN UPDATE DECEMBER 2024-JANUARY 2025.

In the political world, we see the common tendency that more and more governments of other countries recognize the government of the Taliban as the official government of Afghanistan. It means that every refugee who has been escaping the Taliban resume could be returned to Afghanistan and could be killed by the Taliban’s government. This is what exactly we have been observing last two months in Tajikistan over a thousand Afghan refugees have been Forsley deported back to Afghanistan from Tajikistan. Most of them have been killed because of their previous connections with the former government of Afghanistan. It will affect our Afghan church in Tajikistan as well. We now praying and asking you to pray for our disciples since they are hiding in their houses because local ministries of the security services tracking them to Forsley deport them back to Afghanistan it means that they are not working and that they are not able to make any income to pay the expenses like the apartments, rent food, expenses, education for their kids and others please keep praying with us for the safety

One of the priorities for us for 2025 is to raise new leaders people who will take responsibility and we’ll make disciples in the different aspects of the life of the society of the Republic of Tajikistan one of them is my elder son, Daniel, who just finished it, the multiplication leadership school in Oregon, USA about how to make disciples among the people who addicted with the computer gaming. The global statistics say that more than 2 billion people are playing games on computer computers or mobile phones in Tajikistan. Just in Central Asia, the number of gamers is 10 million people in Tajikistan We have an online platform with officially registered 300,000 gamers. This is almost like a large city who is the people who don’t know Jesus to reach those people we have the same value find the person of peace raise him at his house as a disciple Empower him to do the same among the gamers for this year, we have planned to organize several Eastport festivals among the Afghan refugees and gypsies, and also organize Boot Camp for several Esports teams.

At the beginning of this year, I fasted for 21 days and asked God about disciples who needed encouragement to reach out to his vision according to Matthew 28:18-20 God showed me several people and asked me to call and send the messages. One of them responded And invited me for lunch. We have been talking about life business and at the end of our conversation, he started to open his heart about the big problems in his family with the recognition that it’s because of her step out of obedience toward God next night in my dreams, I saw a dream that I was fighting against the evil spirits for his soul and the next morning I wrote him about this and he told me it means for me that God picks up you to help me to bring me back to appearance to Jesus he has big sewing business and has a potentially huge number of disciples and people of peace and evil spirits have been attacking him and his family strongly. Now every morning we pray with him and starting board with God.

From 27 February to 29 March, I have a plan to visit the USA I will contact some of you about possible times to meet and also I am open to any suggestions and proposals to come and share more about what is God doing in our country with you.

Disaster response projects during spring since Tajikistan is a mostly mounted country 92% of their landscape is the mountains. It creates a huge risk in the winter and autumn for natural disasters, we have been absorbing many of them in previous years and have been praying about how we can respond and how we can use it to find the person of peace and plant the house, churches two of our house, churches located in natural disasters risk zones, and we expecting that we will need resources to respond on their needs and the needs of the neighbors when their natural disasters will hit their homes. They need such warm blankets heating elements, food packages in some cases materials to fix the houses and also construction projects for Fixing the sides of the mountain rivers which flow through the villages in the houses

Out of the 10 million population of the Republic of Tajikistan 3 million of our children means that the ministry to kids' families through the camps and family retreats is crucial and emerge we praying and asking God about providing us with them resource retreat and training center. It could be purchased and the price is not as high as we could expect.

Resource center in Moscow for work with Central Asian migrants. We have been experiencing growing numbers of houses, and churches among the central Asians in Moscow and the problem is that our church planter with his family of seven members lives in the apartments, which is considered as the house church of 150 square feet can you imagine even in this size apartments they abel gather two house churches we are asking for the donations to help them to buy apartments or property outside of Moscow which would serve as the House church training center and retreat center. There are more than 25 million Central Asia working immigrants who live in Moscow and local Russian churches have no idea or understanding of how to serve since most of the immigrants are Muslims and don’t speak Russian.
