About Bishkek

Nestled among the towering peaks of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is a land of rugged beauty and ancient tradition. The Kyrgyz people, a Muslim Turkic people, make up the majority of the population, while the countryside is home to many unreached ethnic minorities scattered across mountain valleys and remote villages.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kyrgyzstan has regained political and religious freedom, yet that freedom has also opened the door to a renewed surge of Islamic influence. In recent years, the church has faced increasing persecution, as believers stand firm in a culture that often views their faith with suspicion or hostility.

At the nation’s heart lies Bishkek, a vibrant and growing capital where Soviet-era architecture meets bustling markets and modern cafes. Here, amid the noise and movement of city life, the Gospel continues to spread quietly—through faithful witness, courageous prayer, and the unshakable hope of Jesus.
