Quotes

• We give special attention to our young people. We are a young Church, our young people are enthusiastic but also inconstant. They are tempted by pictures coming from the West of a hedonist and consumerist culture and so their faith still weak, is tested. We are a new community which is growing slowly with the help of the Lord. We strive to bear witness to our faith in a mainly Muslim country with a social and cultural structure fragmented in different groups, but we continue to sow seeds of the Gospel in this vast country. We need the spiritual support of the universal Church, especially from the Churches of ancient Christian tradition. Remember us as we strive to be witnesses of the Good News here in central Asia.
