TURKMENISTAN — House Church Leader Threatened

A Turkmen Christian receives baptism.

Turkmenistan, a nation with a 94% Muslim population, is a profoundly restricted country in which Christian worship is limited to churches that are part of government-sanctioned denominations.

Additionally, the Turkmen government exerts a high level of control on the entire population, especially upon Christians. Despite the governmental and societal restrictions, the gospel is proclaimed regularly in Turkmenistan through media and personal testimonies. Front-line workers report that one house church leader who has been sharing the gospel has come under increased pressure from authorities. Officials have been showing up at his home and church with photos of family members, their cars and their license plates in an effort to scare him into ending his ministry.
