INSIGHT ARTICLE: Afghanistan hazards for Christian workers

Written by Super User 21 Aug 2010

The Asia Evangelical Alliance has condemned Taliban's slaying of ten aid workers in Afghanistan. See:  The bodies of a Briton, six Americans, a German, and two Afghan interpreters were discovered in northern Afghanistan. Media reported that the aid workers were associated with the International Assistance Mission (IAM), a non-profit Christian NGO working in Afghanistan since 1966. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings saying the medical workers were ‘foreign spies’ and were spreading Christianity. Executive Director of IAM spoke of the ‘senseless killing of people who have done nothing but serve the poor.’ This week’s INSIGHT ARTICLE comes from a Christian NGO in Afghanistan.

Pray: for humanitarian workers protection in Afghanistan and other countries under Taliban influence. (Dt.5:32-33)
