Afghanistan
(a restricted nation that suppresses the Gospel and martyrs followers of Christ.)
99.8% of Afghans are Muslim. Population: 39 Million
Both local and national governmental are highly antagonistic to Christians. Extremists like ISIS and the Taliban actively persecute believers, as well as the same being done by a person's family/friends.
Afghan Christians cannot worship openly. Beatings, torture and kidnapping are routine for Christians in Afghanistan.
Access to Bibles is extremely limited, as they cannot be legal sold or distributed in the country. Underground Bible smuggling and audio Bibles are usually how believers get a copy of the Bible, if they are blessed enough to get one.
Radio broadcasts, discipleship training and front-line workers are other means of spreading the Gospel. There are no churches in Afghanistan, except for secret home church gatherings, etc.
Being a Christian in Afghanistan can carry the death sentence, but persecuted believers there are faithful to preach Jesus Christ crucified to their friends and neighbors.
Please pray for Afghanistan's people, both believers and non-believers.
