Summary

The people of Central Asia are caught between their Islamic culture and the authoritarian remnants of 70 years of communist domination. Statistically, many of the region's people have a zero-percent probability of meeting a follower of Christ or hearing the gospel message of Jesus' love. "Brother Harold" has served more than a decade building relationships and planting gospel seeds among Muslim people in Central Asia. He'll share about the persecution Central Asian Christians face, some of his challenges and God's victories during 15 years of ministry, and thoughts on how Christians in the United States can minister to Muslims right where we live.
