Story number 4 for 2 Apr 2001

(Uzbekistan)–Next, four Baptist churches in Uzbekistan are facing registration obstruction. Keston News Service reports that several churches are experiencing an unexplained delay in the processing of their registrations. Church members are being told they cannot meet unless they have their registration. However, they are not getting satisfactory response from government officials about their applications. Please pray for the situation in Uzbekistan, because if the church can’t operate freely, evangelism is stifled.
