Summary
"God loves Afghans!"
Author John Weaver lived in Afghanistan, speaks the language and is in daily contact with people still in the country. He'll give listeners an update on how the Taliban's takeover is affecting our Christian brothers and sisters and share specific requests to help us pray for our Afghan family members.
John will also tell us how God is working through current events and even among members of the Taliban. One thing we know He is doing is raising up an army of prayer warriors to intercede on behalf of Afghanistan and pray for the advance of Christ's kingdom among unreached people there.
Here are six ways you can pray for Afghanistan right now.

| 1:24.7 | Afghanistan. We're going to talk about what is happening in that nation with everything that's |
| 1:30.5 | going on there and all the news media coverage we are seeing. I felt like it was vitally important |
| 1:36.3 | for us to hear how the Taliban take over is affecting Christians and to equip our listeners |
| 1:42.7 | to pray for Afghanistan during this time of upheaval there. So I've asked one of our previous |
| 1:48.8 | guests to come back on this week. John Weaver is a longtime gospel worker inside Afghanistan. In |
