Christians in the UK and around the world are being urged to help spread the gospel and ease the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan by adopting one of 15 major cities in the country.
The new initiative is the brainchild of Eurasia Education Foundation (EEF), which: provides theological education to nationals from persecuted countries; researches and teaches an objective approach to Islamic history; and helps protect persecuted Christians.
Adopting an Afghan city takes place through three simple steps. First, individuals or churches are asked to choose a city, from Herat in the west to Kabul in the east, from Mazar E Sharif in the north to Kandahar in the south. Then they are asked to pray for them, that more and more of its people will become Christians and that new underground churches will come into being as a result.
