The five were some of 40 who were gathered to pray when they their service was disrupted by armed police men in March of 2016.

Khan is a courageous Christian convert who was forced to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover that practically sentenced all Christians to death.
Despite this abrupt action, Khan hid his faith from his family in this extremely dangerous situation. Refugees in Iraq often do not have enough to live on, so ICC provided Khan and his family with necessities in this time. This is just one of many ways that our Afghanistan Crisis Emergency Fund is used to combat the Taliban persecution.
Prayers
Keep strong brother.
