Uzbekistan • Kazakhstan • Kyrgyzstan

September 27 – October 15, 2026

This fall, I’ll be returning to a part of the world deeply connected to my own story—Central Asia.

I’ll be traveling through Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, meeting with key pastors and ministry leaders who are actively investing in the next generation. Our vision is to see Christianity reach a 2% tipping point among the youth of Central Asia—raising up a generation who know their value, encounter the love of God, and become agents of hope and transformation within their own nations.

In a region where Christianity remains a small minority, and where the effects of decades of communism are still felt, I believe God’s favor is present to bring hope, restoration, freedom, and truth.

UZBEKISTAN

In Uzbekistan, I’ll be meeting with several pastors who have faced significant pressure and persecution because of their faith and ministry.

These leaders are navigating government restrictions, interference in their churches, surveillance and pressure from security authorities, and the personal cost that can come with openly leading Christian communities.

I want to sit with these pastors, hear their stories, encourage them, pray with them, and ask a simple question:

How can we stand with you?

Sometimes strengthening the Church begins by strengthening the person carrying the weight of leadership.

KAZAKHSTAN

In Kazakhstan, I’ll be spending time with KIFA Ministries, who serve underprivileged and vulnerable children, including children living in orphanages.

Through summer camps, soccer programs, mentoring, and the involvement of the local church, they create places where children experience belonging and are reminded of their value, worth, and potential.

I’ll also be meeting with pastors and ministry leaders to continue developing a strategy for reaching and discipling the next generation.

KYRGYZSTAN

In Kyrgyzstan, I’ll be connecting with Arms of Love, a ministry that has faithfully served vulnerable women, children, and families.

Their women’s crisis safe house gives mothers facing incredibly difficult circumstances a safe place to live, rebuild their lives, become self-sufficient, and raise their children in a loving and secure environment.

This is transformation that can impact generations.

WHY I'M GOING

I’m not going to Central Asia because there aren't people doing the work.

I’m going because there are incredible people already doing it—and I want to stand beside them.

My role is to listen, encourage, connect, identify needs, strengthen relationships, and help build bridges between people who want to help and trusted local leaders who understand their nations.

Your support will help cover travel, lodging, transportation, resources, opportunities to bless local leaders and ministries, and practical needs we encounter along the way.

More than helping fund a trip, you are helping strengthen the people who are carrying hope into Central Asia every day.

Strengthen a leader, and they strengthen others.
Invest in a young person, and you can influence a generation.
Help restore a family, and you can change a legacy.

Together, we can help bring hope to a part of the world that is too often forgotten—but has never been forgotten by God.

Partner with me and the nations.
