Mission
CRITICAL: Uzbekistan’s religion law places severe restrictions on unregistered religious teaching and proselytism; missionerlik in particular is a legally and socially dangerous word. Xushxabar tarqatish xizmati (‘service of spreading good news’) is used to keep the doctrinal content teachable while this Language Package’s Requirements document routes any related content to human theologian review for pastoral and legal-safety reasons.
