Ever since the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979 there have been waves of Afghan refugees fleeing for safety. Most of them have wound up in either neighboring Pakistan or Iran, but some have made their way to the more peaceful shores of European countries including Germany.
Afghans in the United Kingdom are desperate to get away from the violence in their own country and to re-locate to a peaceful land. Those who have marketable skills are usually able to relocate while those without such skills are not welcome in places like Germany. The latter group often gets stuck in refugee camps.
There are three large ethnic groups in Afghanistan: The Pashtuns and Tajiks are Sunni Muslims, and the Hazaras are Shia. They are dedicated to the religious system we call Islam, though they all have their pre-Islamic beliefs as well.
It is not helping anyone when refugees cannot contribute to the economy of the host country. The Afghans in Germany desperately need job training and the opportunity to do something constructive. Christian believers can provide these services to Afghans.
Pray for the fervent believers to reach out in faith and love to the Muslim Afghan people.
Pray for a spiritual hunger among the Afghans that will be satisfied by none other than the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pray for a movement to Christ among Afghans to spread far and wide.
For the light of Christ to shine upon the Afghan people in Germany.
