A humanitarian organization serving in Afghanistan has asked that we pray for this desperate situation.

“Please pray for us for the sister that was kidnapped three months ago on May, 20^th.  On May 21^st, the kidnappers killed a German lady and the guard in connection with the abduction. In the meanwhile we received two videos that were published by the captivators where the sister pleaded for her release.  In her first video our sister pleaded for her life and asked the government of her home country to meet the demands of her kidnappers. But since then quite some time passed on and the kidnappers seem to get impatient. 
 
In the second video she speaks about her disappointment that her home country is not helping her and is pleading again for her life. She seems to be under great pressure and has been forced to share about other like-minded rganizations in the country and to make some statements that can be dangerous for her. We are very concerned about our young sister and our hearts were moved when we saw this video. She is in the hands of very cruel people and this is a very hard situation for her, especially as she feels being abandoned by her government and others and with not much hope to be freed.
 
- Let’s pray that she would soon be released unharmed 
- Please pray also her organization and the government who have to make tough decisions. 
- Pray also that our and other like-minded organizations in the country will not be endangered by information she might be forced to share.”

Pray for God’s protection over others serving in this troubled and embattled nation. Intercede for the overthrow of spiritual powers of darkness and destruction that control the Taliban and ISIS who continue to sow terror and death over wide swaths of the nation’s territory.
