AFGHANISTAN — Aid Workers’ Deaths Set Tone for Afghan Christians

Crosswalk.com and Voice of the Martyrs brings us this:
"An investigation into who is responsible for the deaths of eight Christian aid workers continues. According to the Associated Press, a Taliban representative said they had killed the aid workers because they were spies and were "preaching Christianity." The executive director of International Assistance Mission rejected the initial report that the attacks were a result of a robbery. In recent months, experts expressed concern over political threats against local Christians and these latest incidents have the potential to intimidate further both local and foreign Christians in Afghanistan. Pray for the protection of Christians in Afghanistan. Pray the Lord will give the small Christian community in this nation a spirit of faithfulness and confidence. Ask the Lord to use this recent tragedy to accomplish his purposes in Afghanistan."
