Anti-Christian videos spreading online in Kyrgyzstan
In Kyrgyzstan, anti-Christian videos inciting hatred towards Kyrgyz Protestant Christians that have converted from Islam are being distributed on the Internet.
In Kyrgyzstan, there has been an uptick in videos inciting hatred against Kyrgyz Protestant Christians.
Christian believers, in videos in the Kyrgyz language, are called sectarians, traitors of the nation and native faith.
Some of the videos call for breaking into Christian communities to gain footage of the faces of parishioners for the purposes of distributing their images online, leading to further persecution. In addition, false information is being spread that Christians are very aggressive and ready to attack representatives of other faiths.
Such provocations can lead to a surge of cruelty against Christians.
Will you pray?
Believers in Kyrgyzstan are asking the global church to pray for them.
- Pray for protection and security with the rising nature of digital persecution
- Pray for wisdom from God in dealing with the issues
- And pray for the strength, humility and patience to continue in the faith despite oppression.
