Afghanistan Refugee Crisis
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, storming across the nation and capturing all major cities within a matter of days.
In the aftermath of the political coup, a mass exodus is building as Afghans try to flee the country by the thousands. One group of Afghan refugees seeking escape are Christians fleeing immanent persecution, as well as other religious minorities, ethnic minorities and women and girls.
As refugees flee persecution and resettle in communities around the globe, Send Relief is connecting our church with opportunities to pray and give to support their response.
Below you'll find specific prayer points and a way to give healing through financial gifts.
