Afghan Christians are requesting our prayers as they have fallen under attack from their own government. Just recently, an Afghan
parliamentarian called for the execution of converts to Christianity.
That’s right, the same ideas the Taliban
espouse are being expressed in Afghanistan’s parliament.
In addition, the Afghan government is cracking down on Christian aid organizations and the Afghan church. Afghan Christians are currently in hiding as an overwhelming sense of fear and confusion has moved throughout the church. Authorities are pressuring Afghan Christians and others to disclose the names and locations of Christian converts. Sadly, under government pressure, some Afghans have given in to this pressure by turning Christians over to authorities.

ICC posted a Press Release yesterday that compares the extreme language used on the floor of the Afghan parliament – a parliamentarians
call to execute Christians – to the tyrannical ethics preached by the
Taliban [see
