In 1990 the Soviet Union collapsed, giving God's people an historic moment to reach Central Asian Muslims with the gospel of Jesus the Messiah. Fields of Gold describes the beginning of a Kazakh church in southern Kazakhstan, one of the most isolated places on the earth where Communists exiled Alexander Solzhenitsyn and many other political and religious dissidents in the Gulag Archipelago. In spite of hardship and persecution, God brought Muslims to Jesus and matured the people through whom he worked. Fields of Gold is a book about the great things God is doing among the Muslim Kazakh of Central Asia. Written through the prism of personal pilgrimage, this book is interlaced with stirring stories, interesting cultural insights, painful trials and exciting breakthroughs. It reminds me of 2 Corinthians 4:7, "We have this treasure in earthen vessels so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves." - Back cover.
