THE #29 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Government officials in Tajikistan raid church meetings, detain Christians and confiscate religious materials . Apart from state-controlled institutions, no religious activities are permitted in the country. New believers can be beaten by their families and also pressured to deny Jesus.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that believers in Tajikistan will find ways to boldly share their faith. Pray for the Church to be strong and to grow despite the opposition that they receive from the government. Pray that the Holy Spirit will change the hearts of government officials and bring them to know Jesus.
