Afghanistan

Afghanistan's population is around 41 million, Christians are as tiny number of 15,000 and 20,000 living in Afghanistan. Afghan Christians face a brutal reality. The constant threat of violence and death hangs over them, due to country's current radical government which considers them as apostates deserving punishment. The threat of execution for converting to christianity forces them to practice their faith in secret hiding it from everyone around them, unable to connect with each other and build a supportive community due to the need for absolute secrecy Openly proclaming about christianity is forbidden strictly. Since the Taliban takeover in 2021, many Christians have fled, while those who stay face an agonizing choice: live a life of secrecy risking persecution or abandon their homes and families. The already difficult economic situation in Afghanistan is further strained for Christians, who can lose jobs or opportunities due to their faith.
