Churches Forced to Register
August 11, 2008
Not content with an already repressive religious law, AZERBAIJAN is introducing even stricter punishments and limitations on those who gather in the name of Christ. Churches, now required to re-register with the state, must submit lists containing information on the marriage, beliefs, identity, politics and educational views of all their members before a church can be approved.
Pray that the church body will remain intact despite these outrageous requirements. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."
