Feedback from viewers of two regional Christian TV stations reveals early indications that Christianity may be growing among Afghans.

The violence and despair that has followed the Taliban return are causing many young Afghans to ask searching questions about their culture and their convictions. And although many Christians fled after the takeover, some have chosen to remain so they can continue to be a Christian witness and serve their people.
