Dr. K.P. Yohannan is the Founder and President of GFA World. He makes an urgent appeal to Christians and their churches to pray and fast for the people of Afghanistan. He said, “Many in Afghanistan genuinely fear they will not see tomorrow. The knock-on their door could be the last they hear.” The https://www.gfa.org/pray/afghanistan/ website says, “With the Taliban regaining control in Afghanistan, the Afghan people face terror, rape and even execution. Girls are being taken as sex slaves. Men are being shot.” You can support the mission of GFA World in Afghanistan and around the world at https://www.gfa.org/.
