Afghanistan is one of the harshest countries on earth for Christians. Yet in that nation, some Afghans have counted the cost and chosen to follow Jesus Christ.
“Luke” is one of those believers. In fact, since coming to faith many years ago, he has become a respected leader among Afghanistan’s house church movement.
On this week’s Christian Emergency Podcast, Andy Coleman speaks with Luke about his experience coming to faith in Afghanistan and the price he paid for not keeping his faith quiet. Luke lost employment, was arrested, imprisoned and threatened with death on several occasions. But today, Luke remains busy about the Kingdom and works to make the name of Christ famous in Afghanistan.
Learn how Luke stood for Christ, and how he saw God use his obedience to grow the church in a difficult land. The demands placed on Luke were indeed extreme. Yet you may find they resemble pressures you encounter in your own life, wherever you live. Consider his example and how you can apply the lessons he learned in your own walk.
