The valuable work of the Hope Centres in Central Asia cannot be overestimated! They provide essential services for vulnerable people living in an Islamic context.
There are thirty-two Hope Centres across Central Asia. Ten of these are now under the direction of a local church and financed independently while seven others receive occasional help when required. SGA with their partners in mission are participating regularly in fifteen Hope Centres, offering financial help with running costs and special projects. One of these is in Kazakhstan led by Sergey, a missionary pastor.Â
During Covid -19 restrictions, he had to forgo some of his ministries but was able to continue with the vital Hope Centre ministry. The blessing of possessing a large building enabled him and his team of helpers to provide a special workshop. Fifteen teenagers were able to be accommodated and participate in the activities.
Sergey reports,
Pray for the valuable work carried out in the Hope Centres. God not only uses it to provide essentials for needy people but as a ‘bridge’ to reach Muslims and others with the Gospel!
