Armenia: The forgotten Christian story

Release International

In this podcast episode, Kenneth and Jack discuss Armenia's history, recent conflicts, and the state of Christianity in the country. Armenia, the first nation to adopt Christianity in the 4th century, has faced significant challenges, including a genocide during WWI and recent conflicts with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. These conflicts have led to the displacement of over 100,000 Armenians. The Armenian Apostolic Church, which comprises 95% of the population, is largely nominal due to historical oppression. Jack emphasizes the need for prayer for peace, revival, and resources for the church in Armenia, highlighting the ongoing geopolitical threats and the desire for a deeper faith among Armenians.
