If you are looking for a nation that desperately needs missionaries, but do not have a lot of financial support, then Uzbekistan might be the nation for you!
Uzbekistan currently has a population of almost 37 million people with 34 people groups that are considered to be completely unreached. For any missionary, it is a target rich environment and strictly speaking, a missionary can get a big bang for their buck.
Uzbekistan is considered to be the cheapest nation in the world to serve in. The cost of living in Uzbekistan is significantly lower than in many other unreached nations like Japan, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia.
For a one-bedroom apartment in a more posh expat area of the capital city, one could expect to only pay about $300-$400 USD per month. Groceries and utilities are also generally inexpensive compared to many other nations with some living the life of a king for as little as $10 USD per day!
Although the Uzbek population income has increase considerably in the last few years, it is still much lower than the rest of the world at only $9.40 USD per day.
So if you are a missionary that is looking for a place to serve unreached people groups but do not have a large monthly budget, then Uzbekistan might be calling your name.
