Great Commission Media Ministries (formerly IRR-TV)

Emergency Aid to Kyrgyz Christians

It was divine timing. 18 months ago we were able to conduct mega-city campaigns in the Islamic Central Asian state of Kyrgyzstan. They were a great success. We targeted the cities of Osh and Jalal-abad (and Bishkek earlier). Over two million people were reached with the Gospel. In June, ethnic strife exploded in the same key cities in the nation. Unofficially up to 2,000 people died, thousands more were wounded and hundreds of thousands displaced. Overnight, a humanitarian crisis was born. Weeks later responding to appeals from the Kyrgyz church GCM Ministries delivered two truckloads of aid to the churches affording them the opportunity to minister to those in desperate need.
