Prayer for Kyrgyzstan

–

Women in Kyrgyzstan are held in high esteem once they are married. However, bride stealing is still in practice in the region. A young man may abduct a single woman and take her home. She becomes a “kelin” or a new bride and for the first year she is a live-in servant and expected to get pregnant. Once she has borne children, she moves up in status. This practice is illegal, but it still happens. Please pray that God would change the hearts of those who practice this, pray that his Spirit would convict the men of their sin and protect the women.
