Pray urgently for Afghan
Christians 'living in fear'

Please pray for Christians in Afghanistan as a matter of urgency. Local believers are living in fear after two converts from Islam appeared to recant their new-found faith. The baptismal service of one of them had been shown on television previously. Both are now in prison.

Offices connected to Christian activity are also being searched by the Government. Two non-government organisations have been 'closed' because they had the word 'church' in their title, while foreign workers are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain visas.
 
As well as calling for prayer Release, Christian Solidarity Worldwide and Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali have raised their concerns with the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
