Trinity Grace:

By now, I’m sure you have seen images from Afghanistan.

After President Biden confirmed his plans to pull troops out, the Taliban swiftly claimed control of much of the country, including its capital city Kabul on Sunday. Many Afghans are fearful of what will happen under Taliban rule, especially those who confess Christ.

This is an important time for us to come together as the church of Christ throughout the world to pray for Christians in Afghanistan as they face the Taliban’s wicked rule.

Numerous folks more intimately connected with the work of the gospel in Afghanistan have written about ways to pray this week. However, below are several posts I recommend you read:

“Afghan Pastors Ask for Prayer,” by Josh Manley.

“How Afghan Pastors Reflect on God’s Sovereignty,” by Mark Morris.

Ask Pastor John Interview: Do Christians Have Permission to Pray Impreccatory Prayers.

Times like these remind us of the religious liberty we enjoy in America that we can often take for granted.

And times like these remind us that we are living for a King, who gives us unshakeable confidence in times of shaking, and a Kingdom, which reaches across all this world’s dividing lines and will advance to the end of the earth (Matt. 24:14).

Praying with you,

Walt
