Afghan Christians struggling to survive as refugees in neighbouring countries have asked for prayer.
According to international relief agencies, Afghans constitute the third largest displaced population in the world after Syrian and Ukrainian refugees. These groups report that at least 1.2 million Afghans fled when the Taliban seized control in August 2021, joining many who had previously evacuated. In total, around 8 million Afghan refugees are believed to live in neighbouring countries, including some Christians.
According to a font-line worker, there has been an increase in openness to the gospel from within Afghanistan.
Pray that these Afghan refugees will experience God’s peace, protection and provision. Pray that they will not be deported back to Afghanistan. Pray that new believers will have effective follow-up, discipleship and be placed into house fellowships where they can continue to grow in their faith.
