To many young men in Afghanistan, the promise of a life in a different country seems irresistible, and their goal is to move to the West and earn enough money to support their families back home. Unfortunately, the way that these young men attempt to leave Afghanistan is through being smuggled by car or on foot. This is very illegal, and most of these ventures result in the person being caught and held in jail until their family can scrape together enough money to free them. This is what happened to Manny’s son, Liam. After a failed smuggling attempt, his family is now facing having to pay money they don’t have to get him back. Pray for Liam and the hundreds more like him who are now stuck in prison with very little hope for the future. Ask God to enable them to hear the gospel in these trying times, and pray that they’ll accept Jesus into their hearts. Also intercede for their families, asking that God will be merciful and provide them the money to get their family members back. May God turn these dangerous and scary situations around so that He is ultimately glorified through these people.
