Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous, landlocked country whose economy is centralized upon mineral extraction, agriculture, and its citizens earning an income by working abroad[1]. Approximately one-third of the population lives in poverty. In regards to practicing ones faith, government officials have been proposing various regulations which could affect the freedoms of non-Muslims[2]. Finally, this nation is a source, transit, and destination country for men and women for the purposes of sex trafficking and forced labor[3]. Let’s Pray…

-God, we lift up the citizens of Kyrgyzstan to you this day. We pray for their eternal citizenship to be found in the courts of Heaven paved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Father, we pray for your word to rapidly flow unto ever household in this nation. We pray for protection over your church. We pray for each Christian to stand firm and be equipped with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, for their feet to be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, for their shield of faith, their helmet of salvation, and their sword of the spirit-the word of God. Finally, let these believers pray in the Holy Spirit on all occasions.* 

-God, we lift up every Islamic believer and those who do not know you Yeshua. We pray for eyes to be open and ears to hear what the spirit is speaking to the lost, that they would receive your blood for their sins. Let the movement of salvation break forth through your body Jesus. We pray that you God would pour out your spirit on all people, that their sons and daughters would prophecy, that their old men would dream dreams, and their young men would see visions.** 

-Father, we pray for the provision of clean water, food, shelter, clean sanitation facilities, excellent education systems, and clothing for those in need. We also pray for hearts and minds to be prepared to receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ and receiving His free gift of grace for their sins.   

-God, we ask for angelic assignments to be placed over each trafficking victim or potential victim in Kyrgyzstan. Yeshua, we pray for your divine protection over each individual. God, we ask for freedom for these victims in Kyrgyzstan. We press forward in your grace and ask for mental, emotional, and physical healing over the captives through the blood of your son Yeshua. We ask that the captive would hear your word and accept your saving grace Jesus. Help the victims enter into healing and life breathing communities. Holy Spirit, we ask that you would convict the guilty of their sins and lead them to repentance, salvation, and the plans you have for them.       

-Finally, we pray against the drug production and transshipment points in Kyrgyzstan. Let your conviction fall upon the guilty, that they would turn from their ways and towards the ways of our heavenly Father. Help these individuals to embrace and enact the plans that you Yahweh have for their lives. Amen.
