Today, Kyrgyzstan is a secular state, but this is being contested by the opposition who want an Islamic state. The Constitution guarantees full religious freedom of worship, choice, and witness, but with a tilt of deference to Islam. The Kyrgyz majority lives in rural villages, few of which have ever been reached. There is openness but also a fear among the people to committing themselves to Christ. Many Muslim ethnic minorities, the Chinese Dungan, Uzbek, Tatar, Kurds and more are still relatively untouched.

For further information and specific prayer points for Kyrgyzstan, look up the book "Operation World" by Patrick Johnstone.
