Be Their Lifeline

An earthquake has struck Afghanistan, and the death toll continues to climb as you read these words.
At least 1,400 lives have already been lost, with more bodies being pulled from the rubble each day ... each hour.
For our Christian brothers and sisters there, this tragic natural disaster compounds an already desperate situation. They were already meeting in secret, living “underground” and praying quietly behind closed doors, carefully navigating life under intense persecution ...
Now, with homes destroyed and communities shattered, believers face both physical devastation and further spiritual isolation.
In a country like Afghanistan where following Jesus can cost you everything, the fear is real, and so is the need.
But you can be their lifeline.
Your generous gift to LRI today will reach into the darkness with humanitarian aid, emotional support, and the spiritual comfort that reminds them they are not, and will not be, forgotten.
Please give generously today ... and I pray God blesses you for turning your compassion into action for our brothers and sisters in need in Afghanistan, in the surrounding countries, throughout the Middle East, and beyond.
In His service,
Mat Staver
