Prayer Points for Afghanistan

 Prayer Points for Afghanistan

This prayer is from a Christian humanitarian organization working in the country of Afganistan:

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As you know on Sunday the capital city was captured by the T*lib*n and the whole country is more or less controlled by them. We thank God that there was no fighting in the city and the T*lib*n leaders restrained their fighters from looting, killing and raping as it happened in other cities.

In the meantime the T*lib*n are all over the city and have already started to search through houses. They have also been at our office and accommodations of our expats. We are very thankful that we were able to get our foreign staff out of the country under great difficulties yesterday. Other foreigners are still in the country and wait to get out.

We received the report today that one family was attacked right at the airport by the crowd. Please pray that all of them will make their way out in safety.

Thousands of Afghans are desperate to get to the airport. Especially those who work with government and police as they fear for their lives.

Please pray for the US, German and British army who deal with this chaotic situation and that all the people can get out whose lives are in serious danger. Also a number of local believers want to leave and we make every effort to bring them out. Please pray earnestly for their safe removal from the enemy that hates them. T*lib*n are

checking everybody who want to go into the airport. Please pray also for those who are working on behalf of our brothers and sisters that they have wisdom and also favor with the authorities who are responsible for the evacuation.

Pray for the local believers who are now under immense pressure. If the T*lib*n find out that they are believers they would definitely kill them and possibly torture them to get more information from them about others who trust in Jesus. Please pray also for us for wisdom and how to deal with our local staff and local believers we are in contact with.

Finally pray for the new government as it is being formed, that radicals will not be part of the government but more moderate T*lib*n leaders. As even a moderate leader will bring an oppressive regime for the county, may the Lord use this to open the eyes of many Afghans for the truth and nature of the faith that they are following and open their hearts to our Lord and savior.

A number of Christian media organizations are broadcasting daily the gospel into this desperate country. Please pray that the word of truth will go forth in power and that many will be saved.

Our God is still able to take what the enemy means for evil and turn it around for good.
