Regional Director, Central Asia

‘Madina’ (not her real name) is one of a tiny number of indigenous people in her Central Asian country to have become a Christian. She’s faced beatings for her faith and is visited by police, but courageously risks her safety to equip and support underground church leaders to lead local mission.
