The re-conquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban in 2021 came as a shock to many. The USA/NATO withdrawal was followed by the swift collapse of the Afghan government forces under Taliban advances. Within four months of the first foreign troops leaving, all opposition to Taliban forces had surrendered or fled the country. These events led to the suspension of humanitarian aid to the needy people of Afghanistan, the reintroduction of much harsher Islamic laws, the intensified persecution (and even manhunt) of Christians, and the emboldening of Islamist movements elsewhere against what they perceive as a weak and failing Western world. There is so much to pray for; above all, pray that God preserve the lives of Afghans so that they might hear the good news of Jesus.
