Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay (Romans 12:17-21).

Uyghur Christians develop our understanding of faith and spirituality by studying the Bible, connecting with other believers, and practicing prayer, worship, and service to others. We also find inspiration from other Christian communities around the world who have faced similar challenges and remained committed to their beliefs in difficult times. By staying grounded in our faith and remaining connected to their community, Uyghur Christians find strength and resilience to overcome challenges and serve as an example of forgiveness and compassion in their community. Additionally, we share the Gospel message of God’s love and grace among the Uyghur community and strive to be a positive influence in their society (2 Timothy 4:2).

“Preach the Good News. Be ready at all times, and tell people what they need to do. Tell them when they are wrong. Encourage them with great patience and careful teaching (2 Timothy 4:2).”
