Christians form a fraction of the population in the Muslim-majority nations of Central Asia, and followers of Christ in these lands often face severe restrictions on their worship and outreach activities. Broadcasting through the internet is a strategy some Central Asian Christians are employing to share the Gospel message with their countrymen. However, utilizing digital media also comes with risk. One Central Asian Christian created a series of videos that directly challenge Islamic beliefs and uploaded them to YouTube. Soon, he received death threats from offended Muslims. “His videos are very confrontational,” said a Front-Line Worker. “He needs wisdom in what to do next.” The internet broadcaster is now in hiding, and the Front-Line Worker says he needs prayer for safety and his future steps.
