Uzbekistan: Shestakov family says thank you very much!
Uzbekistan: Shestakov family says thank you very much! Were you one of the thousands of brothers and sisters in Christ who wrote a letter to Dmitry Shestakov during his four years in an Uzbekistan prison? In this video, Dmitry expresses appreciation as he quotes from Matthew 25, "I was in prison and you visited me." Your letters and financial support had an impact. Dmitry’s wife Marina was allowed to visit – bringing food and memorized Scripture – which led to other prisoners being receptive to the Gospel. The sacks of letters that he received even turned the anger of the prison guards to respect! (February 22, 2014 | The Voice of the Martyrs USA) Length 1:03 From The Voice of the Martyrs USA

- Pray for Uzbekistan
Thank you for praying on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Uzbekistan who are undergoing severe mistreatment by those governing over them. Ask the Lord to remind these persevering believers that they are truly His beloved children. As their Heavenly Father, He is the One who governs their souls and eternal destiny. May they have a heightened awareness of His abiding presence, everlasting love, help in times of trouble – and whatever else they specifically need – as conveyed through the infallible promises of His powerful Word.
