After the controversy surrounding the Taliban taking over rulership in Afghanistan, many Afghans were displaced. For that reason, the volunteers and military personnel’s felt compassion towards the refugees and evacuees. As a result, it encouraged Edward Graham, the ministry’s assistant to the vice president of programs and government relations.

“After all the discouragement, know that America will rally and work together to help those suffering,” he wrote on Instagram. “Proud of our military and their families.”

Moreover, the well-known former professional athlete, Tim Tebow, also participated in the initiative to help. Tim never posted his trip on his social media platforms. But the ministry shared photos of the mission showing that the television analyst was with them.

According to Ken Isaacs, vice president of programs and government relations at Samaritan’s Purse, the refugees might be living in camps for “a while.”

“We want to show them the love of Jesus where they are, regardless of what they believe,” he said. “On the ground.”

How Christians Are Persevering Against Taliban Rule In Afghanistan

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

After the Taliban took over rulership in Afghanistan, news headlines of Christians’ heightened persecution have concerned many believers worldwide. And now, the Chief of Media Relations of “The Voice of the Martyrs” revealed an inside story of how Christians are persevering amidst the life-threatening circumstance in the Muslim country.

Christians Amidst The Taliban Rule

A month ago, GOD TV reported how a Christian missionary in Afghanistan shared an emotional video declaring they won’t run away even in the face of death. And that even though they were abandoned, they will cling more to God and continue the mission.

“We want it to remain in history,” said the faithful Christian in tears. “We will fight harder and will continue in God’s work.. If we are no longer with you, remember this word from our unbroken hearts.”

First Generation Afghan Christians

Today, in The Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck shared a breaking news update.  He interviewed Todd Nettleton of The Voice of the Martyrs, who revealed the plight of the Christian minority amidst the Taliban rule.

Apparently, Todd was able to talk to one of the Christians living in Afghanistan. Then he revealed about the first-generation Afghan Christians. They are Afghans turned believers of Jesus who are known to have worked with western aid organizations. And because the Taliban knows them, most of them have left because of the danger.

New Afghan Believers

Meanwhile, the second, third, and fourth-generation Afghan Christians bravely decided to stay. Since the Taliban didn’t know them. These courageous Christians are Afghan people who came to know Christ because of a fellow Afghan. They are determined to continue to serve God in the face of danger. And to note, most of them are young in their faith.

Further, Todd also stressed that even before the Taliban came into the picture, being a Christian in Afghanistan has always been dangerous for the last twenty years. And the first line of persecution came from their families. Hence, their fellowship consists of online meetings or in a car driving around so no one would notice them.

Hear the full story from Todd in the video below, and let’s continue to pray for our fellow brothers and sister in the Lord in Afghanistan. Share to spread the news, and many would unite in prayer for them!

Yair Lapid Criticizes U.S. Afghanistan Pull Out And Slams Plans To Reopen Consulate In Eastern Jerusalem

by The Israel Insider
written by The Israel Insider

Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid held a press conference today, Wednesday, and had some harsh words for the American government on a number of topics.

Lapid’s toughest words were reserved for the announcement by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that he is planning on reopening the American Consulate in the eastern part of Jerusalem. That consulate was shuttered by the Trump Administration when it recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and upgraded its main consulate in the city to the status of an Embassy.

“We think this is a bad idea, and we told the United States it was a bad idea for two reasons. Closing and opening it sends the wrong message, not only to the region and the Palestinians but also to other countries,” said Lapid.

Israel’s current governing coalition is hanging by a thread. It relies on support from outside the government fromthe United Arab Party. It needs to fulfill the demands of both that party and the more right-wing members of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Yamina party. It needs to be able to placate members from both its right and its left. As such, the current government could fall if just one or two of its current members decides to vote with the opposition.

And right now Prime Minister Bennett’s coalition needs to pass a new state budget. If its proposed new budget fails to pass a vote of the full Knesset, then by law the government will fall and new elections will be held.

Referring to the fragile makeup of Israel’s current coalition government, Lapid said that reopening the consulate, “We have an interesting but fragile government, and we think it could undermine the stability of the government, and I do not think the US administration wants that to happen.”

On Iran and its nuclear aspirations, the Foreign Minister said, “The nuclear deal is not going anywhere. The world needs Plan B – and Iran needs to know that there is a credible military option”

Lapid went on to call Iran and Hezbollah the two biggest threats to the security of the State of Israel. He said that Prime Minister Bennett’s trip to Washington was successful. “It’s amazing that different people like Biden and Bennett have managed to connect so well, and the fact that there is an open line between the leaders is important,” commented Lapid. But as to Iran, he added, “We have agreed not to agree with the Americans regarding the nuclear deal, but at the moment it seems that the agreement is not going anywhere, and the talks are not going anywhere, the world needs a second plan. Iran needs to know that there is a credible military option if they continue to advance the nuclear program.”

Finally, on America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, Yair Lapid said that the decision to pull out was probably the right one to make, but that it was poorly executed.

“We don’t understand completely all the consequences of this move, of this retreat,” he said. “This is going to have a big impact on al-Qaeda, on ISIS. We should wait a little before we jump to conclusions about the aftermath of the US withdrawal.”

The Foreign Minister, however, did say that he thinks that President Biden’s administration is on the right track. “I do not think that the US is retreating from the Middle East,” added Lapid. “This administration is very keen on being on top of the current game, not the game that was played before.”

Yair Lapid acknowledged that the current situation in the P.A., as well as Israel’s unstable coalition government, make it unlikely that there will be any progress made in negotiations. “Our government also has limitations. It focuses mainly on internal affairs, and no breakthroughs can be expected from it,” he said. “We must also admit that the reality on the other side, the Palestinian side, does not allow for a breakthrough. I believe in a two-state solution, but it is unrealistic in the current situation.”

On Gaza Lapid said that Israel has just one interest there that is other than the return of missing civilians and the bodies of its soldiers, maintaining peace. “We have no intention of returning to Gaza, but we want to make sure no missiles are fired at us,” he said. “What killed the children in Gaza is the war that was forced on us. In war there are casualties. The other option is not to defend ourselves when we are attacked. We protect our children.”

Christian Missionary In Afghanistan Shares Emotional Video: ‘We Want It To Remain In History’

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A Christian missionary in Afghanistan recorded an emotional video on the Taliban taking over the country to keep it in history and says they will continue God’s work even in the face of death.

Taliban Rule Threat

Amidst the unrest in Afghanistan with the Taliban taking over the country, Christians are threatened to face heightened persecution. As previously reported by GOD TV, the Taliban “has a great number of influence” they use to obtain information. Hence, they are likely to face death anytime with the extremist values that the Taliban upholds.

In a video going viral on Facebook, a Christian missionary in Afghanistan brought to light the reality Christians are currently facing there. The man took the courage to record the video as to what seemed like a farewell video to the first day of Taliban rule.

Christians Abandoned In Afghanistan

The Christian missionary revealed that it had been twenty years since they started God’s work in Afghanistan. And while in tears, he said, “All of our work over the past twenty years has been lost overnight.”

He then went on to share how heartbroken they are and how much pain they feel right now. They are crying not because of fear but because their hearts are aching for what the extremist group did to their country.

Moreover, adding to their sorrow is how the world abandoned them. The missionary said, “Those who said they support us, have now abandoned us to the worst situation imaginable.”

But despite the uncertainties and threats with the Taliban now ruling Afghanistan, the Christian missionaries want to leave a legacy should they die there.

Not Leaving The Field

“We want it to remain in history,” he added. And despite being left by themselves on the field, they aren’t leaving the field.

“We will fight harder and will continue in God’s work,” the missionary said. “If we are no longer with you, remember this word from our unbroken hearts.”

Let’s continue to pray for Afghanistan, especially the Christians who are facing persecution right now.

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” -Romans 8:18

Taliban Terrorists Go Door-to-Door to Hunt and Kill Christians

by Ron Cantor
written by Ron Cantor

Zebulon Simantov, officially the “Last Jew in Afghanistan,” has refused to leave his native Afghanistan, even as the Taliban are going door-to-door, torturing, killing, and raping Christians or anyone who has connections with the West. In April, Simantov had said he would move to Israel around the High Holy Days (in September-October). He says he also had an offer to go to America, but for now, Simantov is staying put, saying he cannot leave his synagogue.

“I will not leave my home. If I had left, there would have been no one to maintain the synagogue,” Simantov told WION news.

Afghanistan has the second-fastest-growing underground church movement (Iran has the first) in the world, according to Robby Dawkins, an evangelist who has done extensive work in the Middle East. Since the Taliban stormed through and took over Afghanistan over the last week, Dawkins has been working non-stop to aid his brothers and sisters there.

“The situation there is dire and urgent. The Taliban is going door-to-door looking for “‘persons of interest’—which is code for Christians or anyone who has ever worked for the West. The Taliban is not taking prisoners. They are executing people. One young pastor that I trained was tortured and then made to watch as the Taliban shot and killed three of the young men he was training. But then a miracle happened! Jesus came to this young man in a dream and showed him exactly how to escape. And he did.”

[we have set up a fund at God Tv, and 100% of proceeds will go to ministry in Afghanistan. Go to >> www.god.tv/Afghanistan]

Dawkins said that while the Christian men are tortured and killed, the women and children are often raped and then sold as “child brides” or “dancing boys” (male sex slaves). The believers in Afghanistan urgently want to get their families to safety, but Dawkins says the men are eager to return to share the truth and good news of Yeshua—or Isa, in Arabic. Dawkins noted the believers there are asking for prayers to remain strong in the faith no matter what comes their way. “One ‘elder’ (a man who has been a believer for three years) rallied his Afghan brothers on a call I was on recently saying no matter what the leaders of this world do or don’t do, Jesus is the King of kings!”

Pakistan and India have opened their borders to those who are fleeing the persecution in Afghanistan. Dawkins said Christians are “literally hiding in caves like it talks about in Hebrews.” He and his team are working to make sure they get to safety and to provide them with much-needed food and other humanitarian aid.

Dawkins said too that it is crucial that the Church prays for the persecuted brothers and sisters in Afghanistan. “Pray that their faith does not fail. Pray that God confuses the Taliban when they are going door-to-door searching for Christians.” Dawkins also says that while things are unbelievably critical now, he sees Afghanistan becoming a Christian nation in eight years. Pray for revival!

Netanyahu: In 2013, I Refused US Offer to Adopt ‘Afghanistan Model’ with PA

by The Israel Insider
written by The Israel Insider

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused an offer by the US to adopt the now failed “Afghanistan Model” and rely on Palestinian Authority security forces for security.

The former prime minister revealed Wednesday that in 2013, he was approached by then US Secretary of State John Kerry, who invited him on a secret visit to Afghanistan to see, as he explained, how the US had set up a local military force that could stand alone against terrorism.

“The message was clear – the ‘Afghanistan model’ is the model that the United States seeks to apply to the Palestinian issue as well,” he wrote.

He “politely declined” the offer and rejected the idea.

“I estimated then that as soon as the US left Afghanistan, everything would collapse. This is unfortunately what has happened these days: an extremist Islamic regime has conquered Afghanistan and will turn it into a state of terror that will endanger world peace,” he said.

“We will get the same result if we hand over swaths of land to the Palestinians. The Palestinians will not establish Singapore. They will establish a state of terror in Judea and Samaria, a short distance from Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba and Netanya,” he warned.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan is now under full Taliban control after the fall of Kabul, as US forces and Western diplomats are fleeing the capital’s airport.

He further cautioned that “we saw the same wrong policy with regard to Iran. The international community has embarked on a dangerous agreement that would have given Iran an internationally condoned arsenal of nuclear bombs meant for our destruction.”

“I was then asked by our friends to keep quiet. Do not act or fight. I did not agree to that either. We have pursued an attack policy both in the operational field and in the diplomatic and explanatory field. I went out against the whole world, including many in Israel, and spoke in the US Congress against this dangerous agreement,” he recounted.

“In the end, we brought the US to impose heavy economic sanctions on Iran and to withdraw from the nuclear deal. Were it not for our determined actions Iran would have long had an arsenal of nuclear bombs,” he said.

“The conclusion is clear: the right doctrine that I have led is that we must not trust others to keep us safe, we must defend ourselves on our own in the face of any threat,” he underscored.

He then accused of the government led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of leading in the opposite direction.

“To our dismay, today the Lapid-Abbas-Bennett government is doing the exact opposite – a way that endangers our security and our very existence. They agreed to a ‘no surprises’ policy with [the US on] Iran, a dangerous policy that restricts Israel’s operational freedom of action. They obey others and maintain a thunderous silence regarding Iran these days as it gallops to the bomb,” he charged.

Reuters reported Tuesday that a new International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report warns that “on 14 August, the Agency verified … that Iran had used 257 g of uranium enriched up to 20% U-235 in the form of UF4 (uranium tetrafluoride) to produce 200 g of uranium metal-enriched up to 20% U-235.”

This can be used to make the core of a nuclear bomb.

The “Last Jew in Afghanistan” Is Leaving

by Ron Cantor
written by Ron Cantor

The Last Jew in Afghanistan is Leaving

Fearing what will happen after the US military’s promised pull-out from Afghanistan, Zabulon Simantov is packing his bags for Israel. Simantov has faithfully looked after the nation’s only operational synagogue for decades, but now he will close the doors for good.

“I managed to protect the synagogue in Kabul like a lion of Jews here,” he told Arab News on Sunday.

Simantov, like many Afghanistan minority populations, is concerned about what will happen after the US troops leave. It is likely that the Taliban or another similar group will move in to fill the vacancy left behind.

“If the Taliban return, they are going to push us out with a slap in the face,” he told Radio Free Europe last week.

Simantov was born in Herat, Afghanistan, and is a carpet and jewelry salesman by trade. The Jewish history in this region of western Afghanistan stretches back possibly as far as the Assyrian exile and at least to Cyrus the Great and the Persian empire. At one time, Herat was the heart of the Jewish community in Afghanistan, with an estimated population of 40,000 Jews in the early 1800s.

Simantov’s wife, a Jew from neighboring Tajikistan, and their two daughters have lived in Israel since 1998. Simantov remained in his native land to tend to the last functioning synagogue there. Soon, Simantov said, “I will watch TV in Israel to find out what is happening in Afghanistan.”

A Missouri deputy sheriff surprises his son with his homecoming after being deployed for Afghanistan, and it was an emotional reunion for the father and son!

Veterans Day is here again, a day that the United States honor military veterans for their sacrifices and service to protect the nation. Thus, heartwarming homecoming videos of militaries are flooding the internet. But one recent video of a deputy sheriff surprising his son with his return touched the hearts of over five hundred thousand.

Missouri Deputy And Son Emotional Reunion

In a video shared by ABC 13 – WSET, Deputy Sheriff Clint Thomas and his little boy had an emotional reunion. He came from Bagram, Afghanistan, to serve with the United States Airforce. Hence, he was away from his family for four months.

At first, the son did not know. The video footage showed that the deputies in a police car pretended to stop the car his son was in. They pulled over, and one deputy acted talking with the sheriff’s wife. But the son did not know that his dad was coming to him.

Then Deputy Sheriff Clint looked through the window and said, “What’s up dude?”

While playing with a gadget, he simply smiled. But when he realized it was his dad, he immediately climbed out of the car’s window and tightly embraced his dad. The little boy cried and stuck his head on his dad’s chest while tightly hugging him like a koala stuck on a tree. And for an extended period, the son did not let go of his dad.

“Welcome home, Clint!” The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office wrote.

After a 4-month deployment with the U.S. Air Force in Bagram, Afghanistan, it is evident that the two have missed each other a lot. Indeed, watching them is heartwarming.

Veronica’s Hero: Miraculous Compassion After Indescribable Grief

by Jared Laskey
written by Jared Laskey

In her book Veronica’s Hero, co-authored by Jared Laskey, you can read Veronica Ortiz Rivera’s heartfelt story about the death of her husband, Javier a Marine who was killed in Afghanistan.  This extract focuses on Miraculous Compassion.

I had a renewed strength and some encouragement after leaving Dover, witnessing the honor paid in respect of my husband. I realized how much of a hero Javier truly was, and I decided I would pour all my energy into making sure he was honored as a hero and his story would be known.

The casualty assistance officer, Orlando and I went to the airport in Philadelphia, but we learned that our seat assignments were not together. I didn’t want to sit alone, having grown dependent on having a familiar face nearby. Both Orlando and the captain tried to switch our seats with other passengers, but they were not willing.

Watching people refuse their seats so I could at least have my brother-in-law sit next to me made me frustrated. “Don’t these people know? Don’t they care?” Feeling alone I started to cry.

I sensed the woman sitting next to me was watching me cry, and even though I was mad at her for refusing to trade her seat, something drew me to want to be in her presence although I didn’t know her and had never met her before.

I looked up at her and saw her smile. She said, “Your heart hurts right now, but you are not alone.”

With that, I cried more and I explained to her that my husband had been killed in Afghanistan.

She grabbed my hand and asked if I wanted to talk about him.

I explained how I had just watched the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, that I was sad and afraid to live without him but very proud of him for his service to our country.

She then said, “You know, my son died …” As she began to tell her story, her voice was sweet and comforting. After talking to me about her son, she finished, smiling at me.

I asked her if my emotions were normal, if what I felt or didn’t feel was OK. I told her that at times, one minute of pain could be so overwhelming I wanted to die, and then at other times, I just wanted to laugh.

She explained the emotions I was feeling were OK, saying, “Every smile, every laugh, every moment in which you feel as though the pain is not overwhelming is God comforting you. Embrace it.”

She then looked into my eyes and said, “God loves you very much. He will never leave you nor forsake you. You might be angry with God, and you don’t understand what happened, and you feel as though He let you down. But He understands your anger and He loves you. Your anger and pain do not push Him away, in fact, He hears your cries and draws close to you.”

I asked her how she was able to overcome the death of her son, and she told me God gave her what she needed exactly when she needed it.

She said, “Listen, God will speak to you through other people, and He will show you how much He loves you. Just pay attention and listen.”

We talked throughout the flight. Before landing, she told me, “This was a divine appointment.” I thanked her for her kind words.

We then landed and walked off the plane together. I had just caught up to Orlando and the captain wanting to tell them about the lady I sat next to. I saw her smile at me and then wink. But when I touched Orlando’s shoulder to tell him and looked back, she was gone.

Veronica Ortiz Rivera is a mother of four healthy and very active children. Her life is a testimony of triumph over tragedy. She desires to honor her husband’s memory and help other people. She has traveled extensively to share her story. The Marine Corps is and always will be part of her life.  Get your copy of Veronica’s Hero.

6 Things You Can Do To Help The Persecuted Church

by Deborah Armin
written by Deborah Armin

Many Christians around the world suffer persecution because of their faith in the Lord Jesus. They are imprisoned, their properties destroyed, families torn apart, they are ostracized and more. But for those of us in a democratic country, it’s hard to imagine what that’s like.

According to Open Doors the top, ten countries most affected by this are North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Eritrea, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Iran.

But, is persecution in the Bible?

It should come as no surprise that the answer is yes. When we face hardships because of our faith we’re joining the many persecuted Christians in Biblical history. Let’s take a look at what the Bible says about Christians being persecuted?

“Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are determined to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be hunted and persecuted [because of their faith].” ( 2 Timothy 3:12 AMP)

“If the world hates you [and it does], know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” ( John 15:18 AMP )

“Blessed [comforted by inner peace and God’s love] are those who are persecuted for doing that which is morally right, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].” (Matthew 5:10)

“Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of [your association with] Me. Be glad and exceedingly joyful, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for in this same way, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” ( Matthew 5:11-12 AMP )

“But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:44 AMP)

“Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of[your association with] the Son of Man.” ( Luke 6:22 AMP )

“Do not be surprised, believers, if the world hates you.” ( 1 John 3:13 AMP )

6 Things You Can Do

So what can we do to help our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world? Firstly, there are organizations that keep watch on persecuted Christians such as Open Doors. They publish regular updates on situations around the world. Here are six things you can do to help:

  1. Pray
  2. Donate money to organizations such as Open Doors
  3. Volunteer
  4. Write to Persecuted Christians
  5. Advocate – Raise awareness and lobby the government to take action
  6. Encourage others to take action

But above all remember, if you’re facing persecution today you are not alone, we have a High Priest who intercedes for us and we too will be praying for you.

“Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us.” ( Romans 8:34 AMP )

Sunday, November 4, is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP). Click to find out more.
