We are exploring a new relationship in Kyrgyzstan in central Asia. More that a year ago, Christine met Sultan Abdi, an economics student living in Moscow. In Kyrgyzstan, he worked at a state university. In Moscow, he works as a migrant laborer and is striving to complete his doctoral thesis in economics at a Moscow university. His field is migrant labor, particularly as it impacts the people groups of central Asia. His family is Muslim and his friendship toward us is based on his interest in keeping his English-language skills sharp. Mark shared the gospel with him and his response was very interesting –he has had contact with Christianity before. We have spent a significant amount of time with him, meeting his wife, enjoying dinner at his home. He has asked Mark to visit his home near the city of Osh when he returns home next December. This is a possibility we are considering, particularly if we can make a connection with Kyrgyz Christians while we are there.
