Raids Continue To Disrupt Church in Kazakhstan

 



Please read Christians Getting Bitten by Kazakhstan Religion Laws at Mission Network News.





"A Sunday morning church poice raid in Kazakhstan last month could be a sign of things to come. Joel Griffith with Slavic Gospel Association says this particular church was unregistered. "10 of the church members now are facing a court date, and they could get possible fines of one or two months' average salary." The bite of the revised religion law has been growing sharper over the last two years for everyone. Forum 18 News says this year alone, 146 people have been fined for practicing religion in Kazakhstan. "The older saints that are there, they're going to remember what life was like under atheistic Communism and how they had to survive under Soviet oppression. The newer generation that's coming up would have no memories of this and how to survive under such a thing." "
