The Seventh-day Adventist Church has
been a part of
Kazakhstan since early in the twentieth century. In
1902, the first Adventist communities appeared in the
northern regions of Kazakhstan
―
in the Akmola and Kostanay regions, in the cities of
Ust-Kamenogorsk and Semipalatinsk.
This year our Church celebrates its
one-hundredth year in Kazakhstan. The Seventh-day
Adventist Church now has about four
thousand church members
in Kazakhstan.
The church takes an active part in the moral and
spiritual education of our society.
While Kazakhstan was independent, the Church had a great
opportunity to use God's gifts to increase good here.
Important reforms are taking place in the modern State
of Kazakhstan and the Church is taking part in the
process. Basic church principles have remained unaltered
for many years. As F.M. Dostoevsky said, "In this world
God fights with Satan, but field of this battle is human
heart". |
