Happy International Women’s Day

Bouquet of colorful flowers.

On this day, when the whole world celebrates International Women's Day, please pray for Afghan women, who continue to be more and more marginalized and pushed out of society into their homes by the Taliban. Please pray that in the midst of all the oppression, pain, and poverty that the women of Afghanistan experience, that they would come to know true freedom in Jesus. Please also pray for the tens of thousands of Afghan women are leaving Afghanistan. Pray for their safety and that the Lord would be their provider.
