Despite the tiny Christian population in Afghanistan, its government specifically targets Christians, and specifically ordered the public execution of a handful of Afghan converts caught on film being baptized. In May, an Afghan TV station aired video of a baptism and prayer service. Now, the few Christians that do reside here have been driven into hiding in more rural areas. A spokesperson of president Hamid Karzai announced on June 1, that he will take measures to prevent any more conversions to Christianity.

Pray for God's provision of safe shelter and food for those forced into hiding.
Pray that those who hear the Gospel would not resist conversion, despite certain punishment/harm.
Pray that the scattered believers would find others in their vicinity to have fellowship with.

no surprise. It is so clear that the whole world is aligned against Christ. There is christian persecution everywhere and it is unavoidable.

I often remark that it will all be over soon.

I will pray for them definitely. It breaks my heart to read this. This is beyond evil and awful.

Glad I'm not pagan, I mean Christian. I preach Yashua of the messianic faith. Most of the devil dogs probably don't even know that Yashua is Christ.

If they do not like Christians so much, why don't they just deport them??......

The Roman empire tried to wipe out Christianity, failed and crumbled as a result just as the current regimes that persecute Christians around the world will no doubt do.

Matthew 5:44 - But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
