Another Martyr update

In my original article on the issue of the Afghan martyr, I stated “Something tells me this martyr is going to impact the world.” Well, it looks like it is starting to happen. This article tells of a surge in interest in Christianity in Afghanistan. It’s a good, quick read.

One story of interest:

Andaryas recalled instances like the one in which a father and two sons all became Christians independently of each other, but were so careful about keeping their new faith secret that more than a year passed before each became aware of the others' conversion.

It concludes:

Andaryas' own journey took him from Afghanistan to Iran, where he said he was caught communicating with a local Christian and arrested. In detention, he was cut with a knife and beaten with a rod bearing the words "confession or death" in Farsi."The three days and nights of torture in Iran brought me to understand that God cannot be like that, that God does not need protection for His religion, His way," he wrote later.

I agree, and I think that most Afghans will be able to apply the same logic. This may lead to revival in Afghanistan. It could happnen.
