“The Taliban are killing our souls and spirits. They don't have to shoot us for this to be painful and hard, but they will shoot us. They are killing the souls of our children by taking all that is beautiful away from them.” —Sharifullah*, a secret believer in Afghanistan
Webmaster220,
It’s heartbreaking to read the news from Afghanistan. As the days continue after the Taliban takeover, we’re getting more and more glimpses of what life will look like for secret believers.
The Taliban has already established their government and as expected, it’s full of Islamic extremists. “[This government] will not protect women, they will not protect religious minorities and they will not protect Christians,” says a local Open Doors source. “In the words of a local believer: ‘The only one left to protect us is Emmanuel—God with us.’”
This is the promise that Afghan Christians—both secret believers in the country, and those who have fled—cling to. God has promised to never leave or forsake believers, and that’s what they’re counting on in this region.
Will you continue to pray for Afghan Christians?It’s still the thing they most need. Pray for the refugees, the Christians risking everything in Afghanistan and for those who aren’t sure what the future holds.
Our sisters and brothers in Afghanistan and in surrounding regions need our prayers and support. They need to know they aren’t alone, even in this impossible reality.
Help support our urgent and long-term work in the region and strengthen the Church when it needs it the most.

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
