Great news! I have been thinking about this courageous brother for more than a year. Another brother ( now former) got scared and left the truth when persecuted. But Teymur remained faithful. Good example for us!

I was studying the Bible reading for this week and thought of this comment above.

 

Likewise, these are the ones sown on rocky ground; as soon as they have heard the word, they accept it with joy. Yet they have no root in themselves, but they continue for a time; then as soon as tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, they are stumbled. --Mark 4:16,17.

I remember praying for this brother. I imagine the environment there must be pretty hostile to the witnesses with Kazakhstan being somewhat allied with Russia and being a pretty Islamic country. So glad that our prayers on his behalf were answered. Hopefully the same will be said of the poor friends in Russia, soon.
