Terrain: Vast flat steppe extending from the Volga in the west to the Altai Mountains in the east and from the plains of western Siberia in the north to oases and deserts of Central Asia in the south
Environment Issues: Radioactive or toxic chemical sites associated with former defense industries and test ranges scattered throughout the country pose health risks for humans and animals; industrial pollution is severe in some cities; because the two main rivers that flowed into the Aral Sea have been diverted for irrigation, it is drying up and leaving behind a harmful layer of chemical pesticides and natural salts; these substances are then picked up by the wind and blown into noxious dust storms; pollution in the Caspian Sea; desertification; soil pollution from overuse of agricultural chemicals and salination from poor infrastructure and wasteful irrigation practices

Stories from Kazakhstan
How to Pray
01
Pray for Christians whose freedoms are limited, that they would be able to experience Christian community.
02
Pray for provision for Christians who may struggle to find or keep jobs due to their faith.
03
Pray that those who are living in darkness would see the light of Christ in their Christian neighbors and would experience that light for themselves.
Unreached people groups live in areas where Christ is unknown and there is little to no local church presence.
Make Jesus known where he’s not yet known.
