Kyrgyzstan

Praise Points

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the resilience of the Christian community in Kyrgyzstan, who continue to worship You despite many obstacles. “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

Abba Father, we praise You for the cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan, which preserves the beauty of family, music, and traditions that can be redeemed to honor You. “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights” (James 1:17).

Father God, we thank You for the small but faithful congregations and Christian leaders who have risked much to spread Your Word. “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Prayer Points

Almighty God, we pray against laws and policies, like the Religion Law of 2011, that restrict the freedom to gather, worship, and teach Your Word. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).

Mighty God, protect Your children from persecution, forced marriages, and abductions that target converts and vulnerable Believers. “The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and bring me safely to His Heavenly Kingdom” (2 Timothy 4:18).

Heavenly Father, shield the Church from the lack of Christian literature and resources that weaken faith, and provide creative ways to spread Your Word. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).

A Call to Salvation

Almighty God, help Christian families to disciple their children faithfully, teaching them to stand firm in faith even in hostile environments. “All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace” (Isaiah 54:13).

Abba Father, raise a generation of Kyrgyz Believers who live in holiness, courage, and integrity, resisting pressure to compromise their faith. “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do” (1 Peter 1:15).

Heavenly Father, unite Kyrgyz churches to boldly share the Gospel, strengthen each other in persecution, and ensure that future generations inherit a living faith. “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in Me and I am in you” (John 17:21).

Kyrgyzstan is a 10/40 Window country in Central Asia. It traces its lineage to the Mongol Empire. The nation broke away from the Soviet Union in 1991. Islam is the dominant religion. Christianity arrived largely through Russian Orthodox missionaries during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and later through Protestant missionaries who sought to establish small communities and schools.

Kyrgyzstan’s Christian Believers face immense challenges, including social pressure, limited access to Christian education, and persecution for converting from Islam. The Church is under threat due to the Religion Law of 2011, which restricts religious activity, increased government surveillance and raids on gatherings, forced marriages to Muslims, abduction of brides, and the limited availability of Christian literature. Kyrgyzstan made its way into the Top 50 Persecuted Countries in 2025. It ranks at 47th out of the 50.
