Urgent Prayer
We received this last night from one of our global partners who has family in Afghanistan...
Urgent: heard last night that our son in law's parents got their visas for the US and around 10pm our time started making their way across Kabul city and through the Taliban lines to get to US soldier lines surrounding the airport. Just heard early this morning that they didn't make it in to the US lines to present their paperwork because Taliban started shooting at the crowd. And there were thousands of people there. Since then the parents went back to the place where they have been hiding. About 3pm our time later this afternoon (midnight their time) they will try to go to the airport/camp Sullivan again.
Prayers for safety on the drive over and protection while waiting for entry to camp. The gates don't open until 8 am. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your prayer support, help, and encouragement...
A Deepening Awareness of a Present Reality...
This unfolding trauma reminds us of a present reality for many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. It many places, it is dangerous to associate with the name of Jesus. Christians around the world have been gathering together every single Sunday at the risk of their lives even though they will be persecuted, potentially imprisoned, and possibly killed for doing so.
Let our prayers rise......
