There are two key opportunities to develop vital infrastructure and human need projects in a very needy area. We ask for your prayers, donations, and encouragement. To obtain more information about these projects please contact us using the secure email form on the right of this page.

We have so many ongoing needs and the time seems so short. There are so many basic human problems: water, food, housing, and medical care. Yet these problems pale in comparison to the huge spiritual crisis spread across Central Asia. Our friends need your help and prayer. They are faithful, but they must be encouraged, supported, and uplifted.

There is one God. He is alive. He is real. He is working today!

We have some critical ministries being heavily setback by the political fallout in Kyrgyztan. The latest from our people is that the death toll has increased to over 50.

In Kyrgyztan, at least 17 people have been killed and 180 others injured in clash between police and opposition protesters in the capital city of Bishkek. Police said opposition supporters, who were demanding the resignation of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, clashed with riot police outside the presidential office today.

The police officer, Toktaim Umetalieva, said police opened fire and shot dead some 10 people while trying to disperse thousands of protesters rallying outside the presidential office.
Witnesses said police were seen firing warning shots into the sky and the crowd and explosions could be heard. Many protesters fought back by hurtling bottles and stones at riot police holding shields.

The protesters are angry at rising energy prices and accuse President Bakiyev of failing to tackle corruption.

Meanwhile, the country's chief spokesman said Interior Minister Moldomussa Kongantiyev is still alive, denying earlier reports that he was killed in the riots. Reports said, Kyrgyz First Vice Prime Minister Akylbek Japarov was also taken hostage by protesters today at a square in Talas

According to the latest development, the country's national TV channels has stopped operation after protesters reportedly stormed into the national TV and radio building and took it over.

Read Romans 5:8 and John 15:13, and tell us what in your faith can match the unspeakable love of the Savior.

]]>Great Report!http://www.eurasiaoutreach.com/home/2010/3/17/great-report.htmlEurasiaOutreach2010-03-17T20:18:17ZEurasiaOutreach received a report from Central Asia with great news!

A Bible study group has been started in recent days by one of our team members. This group is meeting in an area very hazardous for Christians. Prayer is essential, and we are thrilled about the response that God is giving EurasiaOutreach.

]]>Needs are growinghttp://www.eurasiaoutreach.com/home/2010/3/12/needs-are-growing.htmlEurasiaOutreach2010-03-12T16:16:55ZWithin Eurasia there is an exponential growth in the number of people deeply interested in Christianity. The turmoil of the last decade has opened the minds of many to the Gospel of peace. It is in this context that we are vigorously trying to convince American churches to step forward now. The time is critical.

]]>Turkey Missionhttp://www.eurasiaoutreach.com/home/2010/3/11/turkey-mission.htmlEurasiaOutreach2010-03-11T17:25:01ZEurasiaOutreach had a unbelievable trip to Turkey. We have some wonderful partners there doing an amazing work in all sectors of society. Turkey is a nation in conflict. Radicals are vying for more influence in the direction of the government. The military is trying to maintain the secular tradition established almost one century ago. Right now, Turkey is a vital conduit for the Gospel.

]]>Prayhttp://www.eurasiaoutreach.com/home/2010/2/7/pray.htmlEurasiaOutreach2010-02-07T23:06:24ZWe are currently traveling in a very sensitive area of the world. The EurasiaOutreach team asks for your special prayer at this time. Be assured, God is blessing in great ways!

]]>Control or Live?http://www.eurasiaoutreach.com/home/2010/2/3/control-or-live.htmlEurasiaOutreach2010-02-03T15:33:51ZRecently, I met with a dear pastor friend. Our discussion centered around a segment of religious leaders who take severe positions and give inflammatory speeches out of a desire to control others. Building upon yesterday's post, it is clear that Jesus came to give freedom. He came to this world and turned the established religious system upside down. He dealt with men who were controlling others through an incredible set of religious do's and dont's. Jesus came so men and women could truly LIVE again.

John 10:10 tells us that Jesus came to give us life - abundant life! The Savior wants us to live a happy, peaceful, and glorious life of freedom and service. Wherever you find religious leaders who seek to control the lives of others, you will find that the spirit of God is missing. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty!

]]>Fearhttp://www.eurasiaoutreach.com/home/2010/2/2/fear.htmlEurasiaOutreach2010-02-02T15:25:30ZYesterday, Matt Drudge posted a link to this story: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/01/31/iran.protests/index.html?section=cnn_latest

Essentially, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, is threatening the free part of the world with, "A blow to global powers." This event will take place on February 11. The Islamic regime that has controlled Iran, came to power in 1979, on the heels of the fundamentalist led, and Soviet backed, revolt against the Shah. This terrible regime built and maintained its power on a doctrine of repression and religious fear. Everything that the regime does is explained with apocalyptic religious rhetoric.

In recent years, and especially since the last Iranian election, the world has seen evidence of a growing insurgency. The Iranian people have tried religious oppression and found it wanting. They are begging for freedom. Jesus tells us in John 8:32 that, "The truth will make you free." Wherever there is truth, there is also freedom. II Timothy 1:7, tells us that fear does not come from God. A religious regime built on fear cannot be of God. It is easy to point out extreme examples of this Biblical truth - especially when confronted with a government like the Islamic Republic of Iran.

However, religious fear and oppression spreads across the world. It can be found in North America as well. Rest assured, wherever a religion, church, or preacher is building an empire on the foundation of fear, it will crumble. Fear of God is one thing. Fear of man is another.

In the case of Iran, we must not be afraid. God is in control, and we know in a missional sense, that perfect love is in totally incompatible with fear. (I John 4)
