CBM activities Kazakhstan: Registration with the authorities faces long delays, and we are no longer able to hold meetings or visit the country legally. The brothers and sisters meet secretly at home in small groups. A Kazak Bible School is held in May in Russia. Visits to Omsk in Russia allow some contact with the brothers and sisters, who travel across the border to meet us. Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan: These are extreme Muslim countries and visits are illegal. New contacts have been made in all three countries via www.thisisyourbible.com.

Ecclesias Kazakhstan: Alma Ata (Almaty), Astana, Azat, Kokchetav, Shchuchinsk, Taynsha, Zerendinskij (about 170 members). Kyrgyzstan: 2 members. Uzbekistan: 2 members.
