Christian Leaders Hunted, Arrested by Taliban

[156] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Christians in Afghanistan.

Front-line workers report that Afghanistan’s radical Islamist Taliban government has increased its efforts to find and arrest Christians, especially leaders. “The situation remains very sensitive,” said one front-line worker. “In recent months, the Taliban has visibly intensified search for Christian converts and for house churches.” When the Taliban took control, many Christians fled the country, but a few Christian leaders decided to risk their lives and stay in the country. Some of those have been discovered and detained, and their whereabouts and conditions are unknown. “Please pray for the safety of all Christians in Afghanistan,” the front-line worker requested.
