Baku

Azerbaijan

Old meets new in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan, the nation’s capital.

From the cobblestone streets of Old City the Flame Towers, a trio of dazzling skyscrapers constructed to appear like a flame in the sky, soar above the weathered storefronts.

As governmental persecution has sought to extinguish the fire of the underground church in the capital, may the “pillars of fire” symbolize the burning hearts for Jesus that will rise up and be the defining characteristic of Baku and the people of Azerbaijan.
