Christian imprisoned in Central Asia reaches other inmates

CENTRAL ASIA — James, a believer in Central Asia, has been imprisoned more than three months now for his faith, but to him, that’s not the milestone that matters. What matters to him is that 10 of his fellow prisoners have come to faith since he got there. “Many of those who have entered the Kingdom through James’ faithfulness are talking in prison about the marvelous light they are now walking in,” said a friend of James.

“Most of these men come from areas that neither we nor James could ever visit during regular circumstances. The Father used the seemingly adverse circumstances of confinement to release them from captivity.” Two of the 10 were just released from prison and have returned to their homes in unreached areas.

“Please ask the Father that they would be strengthened in their new faith, that they would have access to the Word to continue to grow in Christ and that they would be filled with the Holy Spirit to share the good news among their neighbors and friends,” James’ friend said. She asked that believers also pray for James’ family. “They are rejoicing at the displays of the Father’s love but are understandably still quite sad and grieved living without their dad and husband.”
