“The Lord is the refuge of the oppressed, a refuge in the time of trouble” Psalms 9:9
This verse is very clear. I have placed myself under God’s protection and God has helped me. He put good people in my way like you [Christian Freedom International] and one of my best friends [an American].
I believe that nothing is accidental. God has plans for us, and we must believe it. Maybe this faith that I have is crazy in the eyes of many, but I believe this in my heart.
I want to start like this!!
God created humans free and gave them the right to choose. I am a Christian and I chose this by myself and there was no compulsion. I found the truth in this religion.
I must say that being a Christian in Afghanistan is very dangerous. Islam is the ruling religion in this part of the world. And extreme Muslims see Christians as infidels.
During the republican government, Christians were active secretly. I built a small organization. I had impressive growth in a short time. The activity was charity, cultural, and the most important part was preaching and inviting people to Christianity. I was very successful in this. But unfortunately, I had no connection with any church. I was moving spontaneously and independently.
This was a love for me. I moved without fear. I successfully invited 387 families to Christianity, and they all accepted in three years. This caused my life and family to be in danger of death during the fall of the government. On the second day of the fall of the government, those who knew that I was the leader of an organization and knew about my religion attacked my house.
I was not at home at that time. Taliban took my [relatives] and beat them a lot to hand me over to them. It is a long story that I cannot describe here. From that time, my family and I have been hiding. We cannot appear in public anymore because our lives are in danger.
Thank you for your help. It really saved our lives. I must say that what makes me persevere is my faith. Living in current conditions in Afghanistan is very difficult, especially being a Christian, which is a crime here. Christians are not safe. And I want to say something very important.
The Taliban put a reward for finding me. They said this person is a Christian and an American spy and an infidel who misled people during the republic. Whoever hands this infidel to us will receive a reward. Now you know how much my life is in danger.
Life in Afghanistan is like a nightmare for me. We do not have peace. We are deprived of going outside. I am like a prisoner who has no choice.
I want to thank you for helping with my house rent, medical, and food. It really saved our lives. Especially, what helped me so much is going to the doctor. I can’t walk really, and this is so hard for me. I’m experiencing a very hard situation with this pain.
I want to thank someone who has become a bridge between me and you [Christian Freedom International]. I always disturb her, but she is still my friend and I have no one without her. I hope one day I can make up for it.
May God bring you all his glory and blessings.
