KAZAKHSTAN 

WHAT CSW IS DOING TO HELP KAZAKHSTAN

- Kazakhstan is really more on the "one to watch" list than it is on the list of "worst offenders." But CSW will continue to research and reveal claims of persecution so as to advocate on behalf of those who are suffering, in addition to networking with other organizations whose focus is on serving the Christians in this region. 

- CSW provides opportunities for you to petition and protest. Please check the opportunities listed below under "What You Can Do" as well as looking into our PETITION page and the latest edition of OUTCRY.

- Christians in Kazakhstan will continue to be mentioned in our prayer calendar. As we receive updates we will publish them on our website and/or in future issues of Outcry.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

You can PRAY

- Pray that proposed legislation that would be detrimental to the work and religious rights of minority faiths would continue to fail in its bids through Parliament

- Pray that unregistered churches would be free to operate without harassment or penalty, and that the government would improve its position on religious freedom which appears on the surface to match that of the global community, but seems contradictory in its enforcement.

You can PROTEST

Write to your Senator at U.S. Senate, Washington, DC 20510, or your Representative at U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515.  (Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to find out your Congressperson’s name). Ask your Congressperson to raise your concerns with both the Congress and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and to additionally raise this in appropriate international forums.
