Recently a creative arts team made up of musicians, dancers, and dramatists toured in the country of Kyrgyzstan. As a local friend told the team, "The people here have seen a lot of trouble recently. They're tired of the fighting and problems. They're weary and they're open. We want to bring them His peace."
Despite the still somewhat unstable political situation in Kyrgystan, the arts team were able to perform in many memorable places. One such place was a facility for disabled men that - while improving - has seen years of total neglect and decay. Just last winter 70 of 300 men died of exposure to the cold. Now God's Word is spreading, there are about 30 believers, and the physical conditions and atmosphere of the facility are changing. It was a great joy to share about God's goodness and have the resident men dance for joy with the team's music. Elsewhere, in prisons the team shared an original drama illustrating God's forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation; and at one university, the arts team's concert helped a local ministry gain 496 new contacts with whom they can follow up and share the good news of Jesus Christ.
