“Never will I forget this meeting in Tashkent,Uzbekistan. The last time I had seen my friend was in June - in Afghanistan. As brothers in Christ, we had traveled part of the way together in this country.

Now I had traveled to Tashkent for work, and I met him again. He had just gotten out of Afghanistan. I can‘t even put into words how much it meant to me to hug him and pat him on the back in greeting. He had made it.

I shared the joy that shone from his eyes, but his sadness was not hidden from me either. He told me about those who were still in the country, who could not escape, those he had to leave behind. It broke his heart and mine too.

But then he said: I told them - we will come again!We will not forsake you! Since then, I have thought of his words every day. It is my daily prayer and firm belief that God will let the light of the Gospel shine into this land and into the hearts of the Afghan people, and that He would use us to reach out to them with the love of Jesus Christ - wherever they are. Today, God is opening doors!”

Testimony of a Bible Mission worker from August 2021

God is opening doors!

More than 10 years ago, God had first led us into ministry among the Afghan nation by reaching out with the Gospel to refugees from Afghanistan in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. We rejoice and praise Him for the first fruit He allows us to see from this ministry.
For five years, we have been able to be active in Afghanistan through various ministries. A door that God has opened and that - we are convinced - no one can close permanently. God gave us contacts to Afghan people and to ministry partners who have been serving there for 30, some for 40 years.

‍
Words fail to describe what is currently happening in Afghanistan - tragedy, chaos, and deep darkness. But we see by faith that God has opened the doors. We know by faith that He can use these circumstances to spread and strengthen the Gospel - among the Afghan nation, and inside the country of Afghanistan.
