In UZBEKISTAN 13 members of an unregistered church were each fined 100 times the minimum monthly salary. They and other Christians have had Bibles confiscated. A judge declared that Bibles “must also be registered with the State Committee, and if they are not they will be destroyed once found.”

Pray that the fines will be dropped. “Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us.”
