Afghanistan Update
|
||
| As the Taliban quickly retook control of Afghanistan last year, Christians faced the difficult question of whether to stay or leave the country. They knew the wrong decision could cost them their lives. Many who weren’t widely known as Christians made the courageous decision to stay in Afghanistan as witnesses for Christ. VOM is encouraging and equipping these believers even as the Taliban solidifies its control. Other Afghan Christians, especially those who had been publicly identified as followers of Christ, had to leave the country for their families’ safety. Many of these believers took refuge in nearby countries that also are predominantly Muslim. Although they know serving Christ is a dangerous endeavor, they continue to proclaim His gospel among fellow Afghan refugees as well as their new neighbors. VOM is helping many of them as they build new lives. And some of the refugees are praying that God will make it possible for them to return to Afghanistan — despite the Taliban. You can support our persecuted Afghan Christian family members, both those inside the country and those serving Christ in nearby restricted nations. Your gifts will help meet specific, immediate needs of these brothers and sisters who have suffered because of their witness for Christ.
