On facebook and in our SMS with breaking news On Friday and Monday we reported that a church in Kazakhstan was attacked and harassed in the run-up to the weekend.
It took seven hours for the police to arrive to investigate the chemical liquid attack on the church building, but they only took some pictures and would only note it in their report as 'hooliganism' against a building, and made no mention of it being a church.
All day Saturday, church leaders tried in vain to get various authorities, including the intelligence services, to launch an investigation.
The second chemical attack this year
This is the second time in a short period of time that a church in Kazakhstan has suffered a chemical attack. In May this year, a church was also attacked. The police and emergency vehicles were immediately summoned by phone, but it was a full 2 1/2 hours before anyone showed up. There are therefore many indications that the intelligence services had staged this.
Thank you for praying for this church - and the country.
