Taliban Troops Sweep Through Afghanistan
Thousands flee Afghanistan as the Taliban forces retake Kabul and its airport. The country’s president escaped after handing over power to them. Meanwhile, the US used helicopters to evacuate its embassy. With the US’s presence fading – after 20 years of occupation – China is acting to secure interests in Afghanistan’s many resources.
Pray for the citizens of Afghanistan, who are now without homes and who have endured 20 years of upheaval. Pray for the salvation of the refugees. Pray for the Christians in the area to remain faithful. Pray for people to trust God. Pray for evil to fall. Pray for repentance. Pray for an end to corrupt systems.
