Evangelist Takes Gospel to Taliban

A lone man trudges the rugged mountain trail. He keeps his beard bushy and long. His head hair is close shaven. He travels into the Taliban region along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Yet he is not a Taliban. In fact he is no longer a Muslim, though he was born to that faith. He is a Muslim-background believer in Jesus.

God has called him to evangelise the Taliban. He knows it can cost him his life. Still, he makes his regular rounds – carrying a few New Testaments and other materials. He follows the promptings of the Holy Spirit in deciding when to witness and when to give a New Testament. While he has suffered, he has not yet been killed. This man seeks to penetrate the immense spiritual barrier to Christ formed by the Taliban with its rigid defiance of any effort to modify its extreme version of Islam.

Afghanistan Needs Your Prayers | 323 | Report 5

In 1994, out of the chaos of the post-Russian occupation and the anarchy of war, the Taliban movement emerged. By1996 they had taken control of Kabul supported by the fighters of Osama Bin Laden. This brutal regime remained in power until it was overthrown in 2001, by the US and its allies. But, as the Us-led forces prepare  to withdraw from Afghanistan by December 2014, the country faces another period of great uncertainty. What will happen and what lessons can be learnt?
On April 5th elections will take place. A weak and corrupt government would open the way for the Taliban to return.
There are grim forecasts in the press of civil war, financial failure  and rigged elections. The country needs leaders who will rule  with integrity and be able to unite a divided society, ushering in  a peaceful transition.
