Russia, Baptisms

One of our network churches in Tatarstan, western Russia, celebrated the baptisms of nine new believers recently. Many church members were raised in traditional Muslim families, where accepting Christ as personal Saviour and moreover, baptism is a betrayal. 

The majority of the population of Tatarstan of about 3.4 million, are ethnic Tatars, a Turkic group related to the Mongols. Islam is the majority religion among the Tatar people. 

Please pray for these new believers, as they set out on their adventure of faith in, and with, Christ, and for their church as it supports them.
