Some of the pastors hold summer camps for children, and these camps attract both Christians and non-Christian participants. In fact, some of the children come from Muslim families who appreciate the lessons and activities that their children experience. Pray for these leaders as they teach the children at great personal risk, and pray that the children learn much about God.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2256\/children-learning-the-gospel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post a prayer for Children learning the gospel on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pastors in Central Asia are faithfully teaching the gospel to children even though such action is against the law.
