親愛的朋友，
Dear Friend,
感謝您為中亞的寶貴人民祈禱！
Thank you for praying for the precious people of Central Asia!
我最近與烏茲別克斯坦和土庫曼斯坦的牧師聯繫，他們提供了一些詳細的禱告消息。
I recently connected with pastors in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and they have given some detailed information for prayer.
烏茲別克斯坦
Uzbekistan
如您所知，烏茲別克斯坦的基督徒在過去15至20年中遭受了很多迫害。許多人因信仰被捕，罰款，有些人被判入獄數年。註冊教會非常困難（在某些地區是不可能的）。但是，最近情況發生了變化，政府已經大大開放，甚至向數所教會授予了註冊權。但是，現在正在考慮有關宗教自由的新法律，該法律可以賦予信徒更多的自由，也可以再次施加限制。這是為政府領袖們辯論和考慮這一新法律而祈禱的關鍵時刻。 6月8日星期一將舉行有關該法律的聽證會，預計新法律將於7月1日通過。請禱告所有困難的限制都將被刪除，以便註冊教會變得容易。
也要為人民對基督教的普遍態度改變祈禱。由於負面宣傳，許多人將新教徒視為邪教，將基督徒視為罪犯（許多人因信仰被捕，有些人則在監獄中度過時間）。祈求基督徒在社會中會被接納並受到榮耀。
請為烏茲別克斯坦的教會有新的一天禱告！
As you may know Christians in Uzbekistan have suffered much persecution over the past 15-20 years. Many have been arrested, fined and some have spent several years in prison for their faith. It has been very difficult (in some regions impossible) to register churches. However, recently the conditions have changed and the government has opened up significantly, even granting registration to several churches. However, now a new law regarding religious freedom is being considered that could either grant more freedom to believers or impose restrictions again. This is a very crucial time to pray for government leaders as they debate and consider this new law. On Monday June 8th there will be a hearing regarding this law and the new law is expected to be passed on July 1st. Please pray that all of the difficult restrictions will be removed so that it will be easy to register a church.
Pray as well for the general attitude of the people towards Christianity to change. As a result of negative propaganda, many view Protestantism as a cult and Christians as criminals (as many have been arrested and some have spent time in prison for their faith). Pray that Christians would be accepted and given honor in society.
Please pray for a new day for the church in Uzbekistan!
土庫曼斯坦
Turkmenistan
請為這個國家的精神氛圍的改變祈禱。為復興和為教會加強團結而祈禱。為該國的經濟形勢陷入困境的許多人祈禱。在Covid 19危機爆發之前，人們在經濟上遭受苦難，如今，隨著邊界的關閉，情況變得更加糟糕。
Please pray for a change in the spiritual atmosphere in this nation. Pray for revival and for the churches to be strengthened and in unity. Pray for many people who are suffering as the economic situation in the country is in crisis. The people were suffering economically before the Covid 19 Crisis and now things are even worse with the borders closed.
最近，一個城市的颶風比例非常糟糕。許多人死亡，有些人仍然失踪。屋頂被房屋和樹木連根拔起。在某些地區，仍然沒有電，氣或水。
Recently, there was a very bad storm of hurricane proportions in one city. Many people died and some are still missing. Roofs were blown off houses and trees uprooted. In some areas there is still no electricity, gas or water.
請為政府祈禱，以幫助這場風暴過後或因新冠病毒而受苦的人們。為該國的和平祈禱，不要讓人民起義反抗政府。同樣，為教會的興起祈禱，利用這個機會來照顧那些受苦的人，使許多人被吸引對基督的信仰。
Please pray for the government to help people who are suffering after this storm or as a result of the Corona Virus. Pray for peace in the country and that the people will not rise up against the government. Also, pray for the church to rise up and use this opportunity to care for those who are suffering and that many people will be drawn to faith in Christ.
感謝您與我們一起為這兩個在上帝心中的國家祈禱。
Thank you for standing in prayer with us for these two nations that are on the heart of God.
非常感謝您的祈禱！
Thank you so much for your prayers!

屬靈覺醒臨到 烏茲別克教會漸合法化。為中亞有福音大復興禱告
來源：國度復興報 2020.06.05 - 文取材自Evangelical Focus
擁有3,300萬人口的前俄屬中亞國家烏茲別克，素以限制宗教和其他自由聞名。但世界福音聯盟（World Evangelical Alliance）的和平和解網絡（Peace and Reconciliation Network）主任芮莫（Johannes Reimer）認為情況正在改變。
他在烏茲別克看見數十家教會已被合法化，且當局認識到教會對社會有影響力，例如應對天然災害的能力。
芮莫受訪時分享烏茲別克教會經歷到的訓練機會與合一，儘管烏茲別克的經濟非常衰弱。
問：美國國際宗教自由委員會（USCIRF）說，「2019年，烏茲別克政府大致成功強制禁止執法機關突襲和騷擾宗教團體…，且持續改善宗教自由。」對當地基督徒來說，這真的實現了嗎？
答：是的。烏茲別克政府讓不同教派的54間教會註冊，甚至支持基督徒積極參與公眾事務。有些牧師且應邀加入公立學校的委員會，他們的投入受到極高的讚賞。
問：烏茲別克教會在2019年就可以組成聯盟了。為什麼這是烏茲別克的重要成就？
答：有兩方面的原因。首先，這是烏茲別克18個教派的基督徒第一次彼此合作、禱告、傳福音、教育和公眾事務參與等問題上合一。
新的合一強烈提出順應潮流和本土化的問題，否則就不可能有效地發展教會。
其次，該聯盟在公眾中形成新教和福音派團結的強烈聲音，並建立能見度，從而提高公共形象，且有可能傳福音。
問：烏茲別克典型福音派教堂是什麼樣子？
答：烏茲別克福音派基督徒大約分為20個不同的教派和子派別。除了蘇維埃時期的傳統教堂（如浸信會和五旬節教派，他們大多使用俄語）之外，較新的團體還吸收了許多亞洲本地人，例如：哈薩克人、烏茲別克人、卡拉卡爾帕克人（Kara-kalpak）、塔吉克人、土庫曼人和韃靼人（Tatar）等。
福音也影響了當地大多數韓國僑民。有許多地方已產生強大的韓國長老會教堂。數百間教堂中，有54間已正式註冊。
問：世界其他地方的基督徒要如何為烏茲別克，乃至整個中亞地區禱告？
答：如今，中亞普遍有難以置信的屬靈覺醒。自從過去的無神論意識形態和蘇聯解體後，加上伊斯蘭教激進派的滲透，讓許多人絕望，於是群眾轉向上帝找答案。
請代禱這裡的信徒有勇氣透過生活、工作和言語，見證福音的大能。
也為基督徒的經濟狀況禱告。他們常是國家中最貧窮的一群人。
也求神讓教會產生強有力的使徒領袖，使這樣的團結可以永續。
為齋戒月Ramadan祈禱豐收

親愛的朋友，
今天Ramadan（或齋戒月）開始於穆斯林世界。今年的Ramadan日期是4月24日至5月23日。這是穆斯林作為伊斯蘭五大支柱之一，從日落到日落的齋戒時期。它注定是一個屬靈紀律的時代-一個人與上帝的關係的深層思考。
請祈禱上帝會在這段時間內顯現自己！我們正在祈禱，在這個新冠病毒季節（與人們過去的Ramadan不同），許多人將接受福音的真理。
為中亞每天都在直播的Chrisitan直播禱告。祈求人們收聽並聽到福音，並與教堂建立聯繫。祈求上帝像許多人尋求真理一樣，通過異夢和異象來彰顯自己。祈求住在絲綢之路國家的基督徒在這段時間與他們的鄰居和朋友們接觸。獲得分享福音的神聖機會。
請訪問以下網站，詳細了解這段時間的祈禱方式：

Pray for a Great Harvest during Ramadan
Dear Friend,
Today the month of Ramadan (or fasting) begins in the Muslim world. This year the dates of Ramadan are April 24th - May 23rd. This is a time when Muslims fast from sunup to sundown as part of the 5 pillars of Islam. It is meant to be a time of spiritual discipline — of deep contemplation of one's relationship with God. PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO MANY DURING THIS TIME! We are praying that during this season of Corona Virus - a very different Ramadan from what people are used to - that many will be open to the truth of the Gospel. Pray for Live Chrisitan broadcasts that are going out every day all over Central Asia. Pray that people will tune in and hear the Gospel and connect with churches. Pray that God will reveal Himself through dreams and visions as many search for the truth. Pray for Christians living in the Silk Road nations to reach out to their neighbors and friends during this time; for divine opportunities to share the Gospel.
Please go to the following website for more information on how to pray during this time:
