Afghans

Pray the Lord will raise up laborers among Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Afghans to evangelize, disciple believers, & start churches.

Praise God with us for the work of The Jesus Network and one of its missionaries, Obed, who has been working tirelessly the past few years to help complete the refugee/immigration processes to get multiple Afghan families into the GTA and out of Afghanistan. Pray that this work will continue and flourish, that Afghans come to a place that provides them safety, refuge, and exposure to the good news of Jesus and Jesus Himself in a caring, nurturing environment among followers of Jesus.

Afghans have not had the opportunity to explore the Bible. Pray that many will choose to join Discovery Bible Studies. Bibles are available in Afghani dialects.

Those who have left Islam to follow Jesus experience strong community pressure to return to Islam in order to be accepted in the community. Pray for courage and perseverance for them.

Pray for a Vancouver church which is in the process of sponsoring an Afghan believer and his family to come here. He has been stateless in Indonesia for 6 years – and preaching the gospel boldly to Afghan refugees there – seeing many come to Jesus.

Pray for Christian Afghans who are reaching out to Muslim Afghans. Pray that they will be encouraged and supported by other believers, and that their approaches would be welcomed and fruitful.

Pray that churches would work together to respond to the latest wave of Afghan refugees.

Pray for a Vancouver church that is actively engaging with over 100 Afghan refugees.

Pray that believers in Metro Vancouver would be hospitable towards Afghans, recognizing that deeper relationships create space to share stories and God’s love.

Rejoice with us that there are is a new church in Abbotsford with 100+ Hazaras, Tajiks, and Pashtun Afghans in it!
