Story number 1 for 11 Sep 2002

(Afghanistan)–At the top of our newscast, Americans are in a somber mood today, with the advent of the one-year anniversary of the deadly September-11 terrorist attacks. Gospel For Asia’s KP Yohannan says they’re also marking the date, but with a milestone of hope. Beginning today, they are broadcasting the Gospel into Afghanistan. “We are airing this broadcast on a 500-thousand watt short wave station, which is going to be heard brilliantly. With what is happening now, we are believing the Lord to see, literally, thousands of people turn to the Lord and find hope.” Yohannan believes the people are ready for the hope of Christ. He says there is still a lot of work to do and asks for support. “There are 400 or so Afghani believers that are said to be in the country. Pray that somehow, the Lord will raise up a few of them to follow-up and do things, in terms of planting churches.”
