I rarely post anything on Sunday. The very few times that I have done so were because of imminent danger to people. This Sunday is one of those days.
The situation in Afghanistan is horrific. If you belong to a religious minority, and particularly if you are a Christian, your life is in very real danger.
I offer the following message from Franklin Graham.
From the desk of Franklin Graham…
Thousands of people are desperately trying to escape from Afghanistan after the country’s fall to the Taliban.
With the Taliban blocking access to the airport and all exit routes, this is a life or death situation for Christians and other religious minorities, and all those who worked with or for America over the past two decades.
These Islamic extremists, who have taken Afghanistan by force, have a history of brutality, including beheadings and public executions. Time is short and the need is urgent, and this is why I am calling for a day of prayer on Sunday, August 22.
With the Taliban blocking access to the airport and all exit routes, this is a life-or-death situation for Christians and other religious minorities, and all those who worked with or for America over the past two decades. There is no hope for these people to get out safely—apart from a miracle from the hand of God—and that’s what we need to pray for.
It is a difficult and tragic situation. Will you please join me in praying for God to intervene in a mighty way?
Sincerely,
Franklin Graham
