Pastors Pay Huge Fines for Teaching Children about Christ

Some governments in Central Asia have outlawed all ministry to children. Nevertheless, Christians in the region remain committed to teaching young people about the Bible and Jesus Christ. In recent years, numerous pastors have had to pay fines for their outreach efforts. “The bank accounts of one pastor were checked and analyzed. When his activities were found, he had to pay a huge fine,” said a front-line worker. While the stress of constant governmental scrutiny has caused some leaders to step back, ministry work continues despite fees and harassment. Local pastors and church leaders ask for prayer that outreach to children may continue and that they will be allowed to worship and share Christ freely.
