53. Afghanistan Aftermath - Christians One Year after the Taliban Takeover, with “Luke”

Christian Emergency Podcast

Almost one year ago the world watched in horror as Afghanistan rapidly collapsed and the Taliban returned to power. Chaos engulfed the nation. Many would suffer tremendously under the country’s Islamist warlords, but few more seriously than the country’s Afghan Christians.

Today, little news emerges at all from Afghanistan. Even less is known about the country’s believers. How did they respond when everything collapsed? How are they faring today? How can they be helped and how can the global church pray for them?

The world’s attention may have moved on from Afghanistan. But wherever Christians are persecuted and suffering, there must the eyes of the Church remain. God is still on the move in Afghanistan.

To provide a rare and current window into the plight of Christians inside Afghanistan, “Luke” returns to the Christian Emergency Podcast. Luke provides helpful insight into the plight of Afghan Christians today, whether they are inside Afghanistan, stuck in a refugee camp or freshly arrived in new lands. He also provides clear guidance on how you can tailor your prayers and even help those who remain in harm’s way.
