While Afghanistan has a population of over 36 million, only a few hundred people are followers of Jesus and are often isolated and face extreme persecution. New converts to Christianity can be disowned or even killed by their family to save the “honor” of the group, or committed to psychiatric hospitals, as leaving Islam is a sign of insanity. Pray for these dear souls to find daily strength and joy in the Lord and love for their oppressors, so that many will wonder about their faith and turn to Jesus for salvation.
