Recent comments made by the Afghan President Karzai may have caused a riff in U.S. and Afghan relations. Unfortunately, this riff may be felt most by the poorest people of Afghanistan. The poverty there is substantially higher then most people thing and due to the constant fighting, it seems to be increasing as we speak. The poverty there should be one of the top priorities of the U.S. After all, aren't we there to help them rebuild there country with democracy?
If so, we need to help them in every aspect of life, especial their socioeconomic state. Christians have been the face of the aid given to the impoverished people of Afghanistan, but with tensions between the U.S and Afghan officials mounting, we can only pray that American Christians there are not caught in the middle of it and forced to stop helping the poor.
What a wonderful testimony it would be for the people of Afghanistan to become saved through the efforts of American Christians helping them rise out of poverty and become self sustaining . As the article says, this process is absolutely necessary if we are to truly turn this country around. As Christians, it is our duty to help all people in need and do this by the grace of God, not by government implemented initiatives.
I pray that the task of helping the lost people of Afghanistan finding Christ is not interrupted by Bureaucratic nonsense.
