Praying For Afghanistan
Open Doors are encouraging us to pray for Afghanistan this Month.
More Details Here - https://www.opendoorsuk.org/news/latest-news/pray-afg-week-1/

Since the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan last year, our persecuted church family in Afghanistan have been crying out for us to join them in prayer. Throughout the month of February, find daily prayer points to help you pray with our Afghan brothers and sisters. All names have been changed for security reasons. 

Since the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan last year, it has never been more dangerous to be a secret Afghan believer – and our persecuted church family there are crying out for us to join them in prayer. 

It can be hard to know how to pray, but we serve a mighty God who hears our prayers and draws near in the darkness. Join with the church in Afghanistan as we pray through four of God’s names in the Bible – El Roi, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Nissi – throughout the month of February.  

El Roi – The God who sees  
“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8 

Tuesday 1 February  

There is a very small minority of secret believers in Afghanistan – and because of the threat of death upon their faith being found out, many of them don’t ever tell the people they love that they have chosen to seek and follow Jesus. Not knowing who to trust, not all of them have communities to lean on for support. 

When the Taliban returned to power, rumours of what they could do to Christians spread, and surprise house visits from armed men became a common occurrence. In fear, secret believers went into hiding, and many have tried to flee the country. Yet there are still believers who have chosen to stay, even with the prospects of a very grim future; they are trusting God for what comes next. 

Saad is a secret believer who has decided to remain in Afghanistan with his wife, Fatimah. On the night the Taliban returned, Fatimah gave birth to a daughter. “When the Taliban took control, it was everything we feared,” Saad says. “The night the Taliban took control, I felt someone step into my memories and try to snuff them out, to speak fear to me.”  

Today, pray that secret believers in Afghanistan will not let fear of the Taliban reign over how they live; pray that God will give them courage.
