They own only what they were able to carry out of Afghanistan: clothes, a few small personal items and their most treasured possession – their faith in Jesus.
These recent converts to Christianity have already paid the price for their newfound faith – they had to flee their homes in Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover last year. They now live together in a single house in a secret location outside their country with many other Christians. CT.
