Unstoppable Grace
Growth in the Midst of Repression in Central Asia

In Central Asia, 271.9 million people (95.6% of its population) have yet to hear the gospel —but God’s message of Grace is also advancing despite repressive legislation, persecution, and the powerful grip of Islamic tradition.
Dr. Ali Zhankabayev, our Regional Director for Central Asia and the Caucasus, helped pioneer Grace’s Central Asia teaching site in 2014 as the first formal and fully accredited seminary that caters to all Evangelical Christians in Central Asia.
From a tiny group of around six students, it has exploded to 96 students including: senior pastors, church and para-church ministry leaders, and missionaries, who are from a diverse range of denominational backgrounds.
Watch Dr. Ali Zhankabayev’s testimony:
As of today, we have four graduates from our Master in Ministry program. Grace Central Asia also has students from at least three nations — Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan, and offers programs in three languages — Russian, Kazakh, and Georgian. We are also currently reaching out to students in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Thank you for fueling this underground movement to teach the love of Christ in the restricted nations in Central Asia and the Caucasus. Thank you for being instrumental in equipping spiritual leaders around the world.
