Miracle building for Tajik church
John Birnie
The little church in a village in Tajikistan was founded around 70 years ago by believers mainly from Germany and Russia who were forcibly removed by the Communists to remote parts of Central Asia.
They began to reach out to their new neighbours, by preaching and living according to God’s word. New believers were born, and the church grew. In the 1990s, the country was overrun by civil war, involving aggressive Islamic forces, and the village became a centre of radical Islam. Many church members left. Only a few elderly sisters remained to carry on, faithfully serving the Lord. Then God did a wonderful thing. He sent a new revival, this time among the indigenous Tajik people, and the church revived.
