Believers lose their lives if they follow Jesus openly. THE #2 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Afghanistan is a Muslim country. The Islamic State and the Taliban control over 40% of the country. The only local Christians are converts. New Christians are considered to be insane for leaving Islam.

Pray for freedom in this country to choose to follow Jesus. PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for secret believers, that they will be encouraged to live out their faith and share the Gospel, regardless of the cost. Pray for God to help the secret believers in Afghanistan to overcome fear as the level of violence increases. Pray that they will know the comfort and peace of God. Pray for freedom in this country to choose to follow Jesus.
