5 ways to pray for our Afghan brethren in Christ

Afghanistan is VERY tribalistic. So much so that turning to Christ causes the family to send said family member to the mental hospital, as they believe no sane person would convert to Christianity. They are also targeted by Al-Qaeda and the Taliban for murder. Both groups have influence in the country. One Afghan Christian said that it’s a miracle he gets through the day in Afghanistan.
Here are 5 ways to pray for Christians in Afghanistan:

1. Pray that our Afghan brethren in Christ will be courageous and not recant their Christ. Pray that God grants protection to our brethren in Christ who have to live out their faith in secret.

2. Pray that openness to religions outside of Islam will be considered.

3. Pray that stability and peace will ring throughout the land, given that the violence in Afghanistan increases the insecurity.

 4. Pray that Professors and Students will use wisdom and discernment, since ISIS and similar other terrorist groups use colleges and universities to spread their beliefs and ideologies and get jihadi recruits.

5. Pray that our brethren in Christ will lean on each other. It will make enduring the persecution easier.

God empower my Afghani brethren to live for His glory and hold on to their faith in Him. May they also lean on one another. It will make it easier to endure the pain they take for their Savior. Amen.
