Since Serdar Berdimuhamedov became president in March, there have been no changes to political freedoms and human rights. If anything, the situation has worsened for women and access to the internet made even harder. He did, however, sack his aunt who was running the Turkmenistan chapter of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent saying she was exploiting state benefits given to the charity. This has been interpreted as a positive sign that he is not entirely the same as his father, the previous president. Pray that God would do a new work in this man’s life, and create a genuine new beginning for the nation under his leadership (The Bible, Psalm 51:10).

Qatar Tourism has worked with a consortium of global industry experts to develop the ‘Qatar Host’ tourism training program. It is an engaging online learning platform that offers users the possibility to learn at their own pace on any device. The platform demonstrates how such frontline staff – who engage with visitors – may enhance the visitor experience and exceed expectations in every encounter. This will be useful to hotel concierge staff, mall security and restaurant waiters, with the relevant skills and knowledge to deliver Service Excellence to international and domestic visitors. The program will continue to expand, including more stakeholders to enhance service quality. Pray for the visitors to Qatar to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with Qataris and lead them to believe in Him (The Bible, John 11:45).
