Prayer Journal

Please pray for Samir as he is preaching at a local church on “Nicaea in Light of John 3:16”. Pray that the Lord would use this time to help His people be feed by His Word.

Pray as we work on a brand new Afghan worship song. The composition and the lyrics sound beautiful, but there is still much to finish. The music must be produced, the vocals recorded, postproduction completed, and then turned into a video. We are grateful and excited for this new worship project. Pray that every step goes smoothly so it can be ready for Christmas.

Please pray for our team as they travel in September to various conferences. Pray that the Lord will work through them as they teach and take part in these gatherings.

Please join us in prayer as we enter the final stages of our theological course that tackles the issue of shame. Shame is the primary lens by which Afghans interpret their lives and it haunts many. This course is a groundbreaking journey into discovering how Jesus takes away our shame and honours us. We are thrilled to launch this course in early July 2025.

Please pray for some of our team members who are traveling to a closed country. Pray for their safety and protection. Pray that their journey may be fruitful as they are teaching in a conference on discipleship. They are also producing some short videos, sharing the message of hope of the Gospel.

Please pray for wisdom as we film a course on the book of 1 Corinthians. Please pray for clarity in delivering the message, and for God’s power to work through every aspect of this production. Our hope is that this course will help the Afghan church encounter the love of Christ in new and profound ways.

Please pray for our team as we are preparing to film a course on the book of 1 Corinthians in the next month. We have been working for months on studying the text and preparing to film it.

Please pray for wisdom, understanding, and creativity to film in a way that will be effective in helping the Afghan church grow deeper in the Word of God. Please pray for everyone involved in the filming process, specially Samir as he will be teaching the course.

May this be a new step in the development of more theological resources that is grounded deeply in the Word of God for the unreached peoples of Afghanistan!

Praise the Lord, we were able to launch our Afghan School of Theology website. You will be able to find our teachings, preachings, Gospel-centred short responses, Afghan worship songs, Old and New Testament stories for children, and the Afghan Journal of Theology.

Please pray that the Lord uses this website to reach many Afghans with the Gospel!

While most of the content is not English, you can find a lot of descriptions of what each video is about to help you share it better with your Afghan friends! You can check our website at: https://www.afghanschool.org. Thank you for your continued prayers for us and for our ministry!

Please pray for two members of our team as they are heading to the US to share about what the Lord is doing among the unreached peoples of Afghanistan through Lumens of Truth. Please pray that as Hasib leads in worship and Samir shares from the Word, that the Lord would encourage and build His church for the sake of His mission among the unreached. Thank you for being prayer warriors for the Gospel!

It was our joy to be a part of the missions week celebration at a local church. Our brothers and sisters from multiple countries shared delicious snacks and foods, celebrating the diversity of the body of Christ. We shared some Afghan cookies and jelabi. We also had the privilege of sharing a Dari worship song in the worship time led in multiple languages.

It really felt like a little piece of heaven on earth! It was breath-taking to know that one day before the throne of God there will be Afghans singing as well. Thanks for praying with us and standing with us to see more Afghans come to know and worship our King!

Please pray for Samir as he has restarted a Live Show, where he teaches through the different books of the Bible and has live conversations with Muslims who have questions about the Christian faith. This show used to be watched by 200-300 Afghans simultaneously on TikTok, and so many Afghans heard and engaged with the Gospel through it! Pray that the Lord would use these teachings and these conversations for his glory!

Please pray for two of our team members who are in a two week, full-time theology class with some other Afghan. Even some brothers and sisters are attending this class from Afghanistan! Pray that these classes would be effective in helping all the students know Jesus better, grow in their knowledge of the Word, and, finally, to become effective servants of the Gospel.

Please pray for us as we are in the process of producing a series of videos responding to Zakir Naik, who is a Muslim apologist that is watched by millions of Afghans. Zakir Naik misguides many Muslims regarding the message of the Gospel and the identity of Jesus. Please pray that God would open the eyes of many Afghans as they watch these videos!

These videos are in Dari and you can share it with your Afghan friends. Here is the link:
