Kazakhstan 2023
My prayer requests for my trip to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan from Oct. 29 to Nov. 20 as below:
“Missionary Journey to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan”
I’ll be traveling from Turkey to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan from October 29th to November 20th. On November 1st, I’ll assist in a single mother ministry in Almaty, Kazakhstan. On November 2nd, I’ll participate in worship at the “Jungdong Church” in Almaty. During the weekend, I’ll travel to Taraz, Kazakhstan, and on November 3rd, I’ll be involved in a “Praise/Prayer Night” at a Korean church there. On November 4th, I’ll participate in worship at the opening service of the “Elim Friends Cafe” youth ministry in Taraz. November 5th will include a Sunday service and a mini-concert. On November 17th, I plan to travel to Osh, Kyrgyzstan, but this trip may be subject to cancellation due to challenging travel conditions. Osh is primarily a Muslim-controlled area, and we might have to hold underground worship services.
We request your prayers for guidance on this important journey to share God’s grace.
