To come to faith in Christ in Afghanistan is to risk all. ‘They live a changed life there but they can’t openly announce their faith. They will look for like-minded people to share their faith with them. Outwardly they have to look like Muslims; even though inside they have Christ in them. Some have said to me, “When we die our bodies are going to be in a Muslim graveyard, but our spirits are going to be with Jesus.”’ The [radio] programmes our partner make aim to address both evangelism and the discipling of believers.
