Inclusive and Affirmative. 

Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek 

Kyrgyzstan population of 5.2 million. Data from the National Statistics Committee indicated the following ethnic breakdown: Kyrgyz, 67 percent; Uzbeks, 14.2 percent; Russians, 10.3 percent; Dungans (ethnic Chinese Muslims), 1.1 percent; Uighurs (ethnic Turkic Muslims), 1 percent; and other ethnicities, 6 percent.  

Islam is the most widely held faith. Official sources estimated that 80 percent of the population is Muslim. Almost all the Muslims are Sunni; there are few Shi'a in the country (approximately one thousand). According to recent official estimates, 11 percent of the population is Russian Orthodox, although some experts believe the figure could be as low as 8 percent. The country has 44 Russian Orthodox churches, 1 Russian Orthodox monastery for women, and 1 parochial school.  

Other religious groups account for a very small percentage of the population. The Seventh-day Adventist Church operates 30 churches throughout the country. The Roman Catholics hold services in three churches, located in Jalalabad, Talas, and Bishkek. The small Jewish community operates one synagogue in Bishkek, and it organizes internal cultural studies and humanitarian services, chiefly food assistance for the elderly and persons with disabilities regardless of faith. One Buddhist temple serves the small Buddhist community. There are 12 registered Baha'i houses of worship. In addition, there are 240 registered Protestant houses of worship. The Church of Jesus Christ is the country's largest Protestant church with approximately 10 affiliates and an estimated 11 thousand members, of whom approximately 40 percent are ethnic Kyrgyz. Other Protestant congregations include Baptists, Pentecostals, Lutherans, nondenominational Protestants, Presbyterians, and Charismatics. There also are syncretistic religious practices. There is no official estimate of the number of atheists.  

Islam is practiced widely throughout the country in both urban and rural areas. Russian Orthodoxy typically is concentrated in cities with a larger ethnic Russian population. Other religious groups more commonly practice in the cities where their smaller communities tend to be concentrated. There is a correlation between ethnicity and religion; ethnic Kyrgyz are primarily Muslims, while ethnic Russians usually belong to either the Russian Orthodox Church or one of the Protestant denominations. However, some Christian pastors noted that the number of ethnic Kyrgyz converts to Christianity grew significantly during the year covered by this report. While there are no data available on active participation in formal religious services, a significant number of Muslims and Russian Orthodox adherents appear to be nominal believers and do not practice their faith actively. Religious practice in the south of the country is more traditional and devout than in other regions.  

Missionary groups operate freely in the country. SARA has registered missionaries from all over the world representing an estimated 20 religious groups and denominations. According to SARA, since 1996 it has registered 1,133 missionaries, of whom 263 were Muslim and the rest represented other, mostly Christian, religious groups. During the period covered by this report, there were 111 registered missionaries, of whom 80 were Christian and 31 were Muslim.

As you may see from the statistics all of Christian denominations are fundamentalist. So according to statistics there are more than 1 million of Christians in Kyrgyzstan and most of them live in cities. Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan and has population of 1 million of people.  

So if there are 20% of them are Christian and 6% is average of them are gay, lesbian, intersex or just queer and doesn't fit in traditionalistic fundamentalist churches we can reach 12000 of people who believe in God and need spiritual support.

What's going on in the chapel? General principles of service
. Prior to the opening of the chapel for visitors there should be a preparation: preparing rooms,  check for bread, wine, oil, and other things.
. Ministers gather for worship and prayer, and encouragement for each other / short word.
. Then begins service to visitors.
. The time of prayer for each visitor or spiritual talk from 20 minutes to ... (standard 20-30 min).
. The team leader tells the visitor about what is happening in prayer.
. The chapel has its own head.

Following the closure of the chapel to the public at 19.00, members get together for prayer (duration 30 minutes), during which time they leave all the burdens of Jesus, after which all the ministers can go home in peace. 

To organize this Chapel we will need at least 500 euro per month to rent an adequate house. We can make a small reparement in that house as our own input. As we suppose as soon as we start this chapel people will come there more often and will start to give some donations. And we suppose in two years we will be able to maintain the Chapel on these donations.  

Additional expenses will be payment for municipal services nearly 100 euro per month, remuneration to the ministers of the chapel 400 euro per month and others 100 euro per month  

Total expenses per month: 1100 euro per month for the first year. 

On the second year we hope to pay municipal services and other expenses from donations so monthly expenses will be 900 euro.  

So total expenses for two years will be 24000 euros.
