Christian workers report several encouraging developments in the difficult mission field of Afghanistan. Seven new believers formed a house church after being baptized recently, translators are working on three new Bible projects for minority languages, and followers of Christ are now present in every one of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces.

However, prayer is still greatly needed for Afghan believers, for the spread of the gospel in Afghanistan, and for the estimated 40 million unreached Pashtun people worldwide. Pray for more laborers. Pray for the success of various media projects, such as films, radio, satellite TV, and social media outreaches. And pray for the work of the Holy Spirit in thousands of Afghans and for more interactions with followers of Christ.
