Few other places are as laden with opportunity for God to work through His people as Central Asia. In the five \"stan\" countries, there are 52 million souls who are coming out of 75 years of living under the \"old Soviet system.\" Although Central Asia is only nominally Muslim, stability is highly valued by the government and freedom to express oneself or gather with others is limited. Less than 1/2 a percent of the people are Christian. In the past 3 years we have sent 20 Perimeter members on Go Journeys to Central Asia, partnering to equip church leaders and business entrepreneurs as well as serve disabled orphans and their families. Although religious freedom is limited, many Central Asians are hungry for the truth. Perimeter desires not only to see a church planted among these people, but also would like to see an indigenous church planting movement spread throughout the region. The intent is to begin a Church Planting Movement (CPM) throughout Central Asia. This involves helping, equipping and supporting locals with necessary skills so that God\'s church can be established and grow. (There are about 6000-8000 believers in a country with a population of 25 million.) Rather than working to plant a single church, the goal is to facilitate the planting of many churches, which are relevant to the Central Asian culture and can multiply. In a nutshell, it is believed that the local believers can plant churches better faster and more culturally relevant than expatriates.
