CENTRAL ASIA MUSLIM MINISTRY
Throughout its history, Central Asia has been a crossroads of civilizations. For centuries, the Silk Road carried people, trade goods, and ideas through Central Asia from Europe to East Asia and back again. Later conquests by the Mongol Khans, China, and the Soviet Union each left their mark on these lands of high deserts, rugged mountains, and nomadic peoples. Today, extending from the Caspian Sea in the west to the border of China in the East, Central Asia is a vast tapestry of culture and language, bearing a history rife with conflict, and a religious culture dominated by Islam.
This part of the world is not particularly friendly to Christianity. Many believers here are persecuted for their faith; still, our God is at work in and through His Church in Central Asia. Whether doing university ministry through teaching English, or mentoring local pastors for the vital work of church planting, MTW Central Asia is dedicated to the advancement of the kingdom of God in the Muslim world.
