Church in Georgia baptizes 17 new believers
Recently, during a four-month period in the Republic of Georgia, 17 people were baptized–not church transplants, but new believers who are hearing and studying God’s Word.
UNENGAGED PEOPLE GROUP: The country of Georgia contains an autonomous region known as Abkhazia, with an estimated population of 94,606 Abkhaz. Georgia and Abkhazia have been involved in a long and ongoing feud relating to the political status and independence of Abkhazia. The area is a dangerous one with police corruption and criminal agents being used as mediators to maintain the peace. Smuggling is endemic and includes radioactive material, weapons, drugs, human trafficking, stolen cars, oil products, and cigarettes. Current conditions severely limit access to this people group, which is less than 2% evangelical. There are some evangelical resources available, but there is currently no active church planting effort. Much intercession is needed to break down these barriers and to open the doors for a Christian witness among these people. Petition the Father to send the H. S. to bring His peace to the Abkhaz.
