Peoples of Afghanistan

Most women in Afghanistan have been very apathetic about religion, doing only enough so that no one speaks badly about them or their family. However, in their culture, they are the keepers of the religion in the family, sending the children to the mosque to learn what the Quran says or, more accurately, what the sounds are in Arabic but not the meaning behind what they believe. They rely on what the local religious teacher says, and lately, many are not satisfied with what they are hearing. Ruth and Alice are both nonliterate women who have started seeking truth for themselves. They have found a way to listen to the Word in their heart language on their smartphone. Pray for Ruth and Alice, asking that the Word of God will reveal God and His love for them and pull back the veil, for “when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed” (2 Corinthians 3:16 ESV). Pray that what they learn, they will take to their families, and ask both of their families will turn from darkness to light. Pray that other women will have their eyes opened and that they will also start seeking truth.
