Living out your faith as a Christian in Tajikistan is not easy. THE #22 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Living out your faith as a Christian in Tajikistan is not easy. Believers can be locked up and beaten for the Gospel. Church services, baptisms and weddings have been raided by local authorities. Reading the Bible has to be done in secret. Owning other Christian materials is taking a personal risk.

Pray that the Tajik government will be more tolerant of Christianity. PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that the Tajik government will be more tolerant of Christianity. Pray that Christians who are pressured to renounce their faith, will remain steadfast in the Lord.
