Anglicanism is committed to both Word & Sacrament!

Just finished up my second week of Ministry with my team in Kyrgyzstan and my time here has been well blessed already! Our work varies a lot by the day but centrally consists of reaching out to locals in the city of Bishkek at social gatherings of different kinds in order to build relationships with them. Making friends this way sometimes leads to faith based conversations later on outside those social circles where I get a chance to share the gospel or try to help guide them through the struggles they face with words emanating with the light of Christ. 

Kyrgyzstan is a relatively closed country to evangelism. But in the same way that America is nominally Christian, Central Asia is largely nominally Islamic, with mostly the younger generations not taking their Muslim faith too seriously. This makes them more open to the gospel in many respects, but we do have to be careful about those conversations. I have gotten multiple chances now to engage with people about the gospel or about Jesus with generally encouraging results so far, but then again it is not I who works, but Christ who gets the glory through me in every good work. Please continue to be be praying for me and my ministry, and pray that God would soften the hearts of the nations from hard hearts of stone into malleable hearts of flesh, able and willing to receive His holy gospel and message of salvation!
