The land where 2 church buildings in Kazakhstan are built on were confiscated, and the land used for building a new public kindergarten.
In 2001, Grace Presbyterian Church purchased a former college building and spent a considerable amount of money to renovate the property. When the church property was confiscated, the compensation being offered to the church was well below the market value of the property.
Members of Agape Pentecostal Church dreamed of having their own building for years. All official approvals for the building construction had been received. However, just when they began construction of the church building, an order was given to confiscate their land.
Please prayerfully uphold the members and leaders of these two churches as they deal with the legal challenges set before them. Pray that this issue will be resolved without unnecessary duress and that the church members will be able to retain rightful ownership of their property.
Pray that Christians in Kazakhstan will have many opportunities to share the Good News of the Gospel in the community. Pray that many will be enlightened to the truths of the gospel through as believers testify of God’s life-changing power.
