BMS World Mission link missionaries in Afghanistan

BMS World Mission supports 370 personnel working in 40 countries of the world, where they serve the people in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ, alleviating suffering and injustice and improving the quality of life.

Since 1997, BMS World Mission has been one of the members of an international association of organisations serving the people of Afghanistan with compassion and excellence through training and capacity building that fosters wholeness and transformation. Projects in which BMS personnel are involved include micro-enterprise loans, community development, eye care, health and general administration.

Our BMS World Mission link missionaries (whose names we cannot mention because of security concerns) are supporting development projects in Afghanistan by teaching colleagues' children, pastoral work and administration.

Prayer points:

• Learning and developing language skills;
• Adjusting to the extremes of the climate;
• For safety and living with limitations/restricted freedom;
• Developing good relationships with team members and neighbours;
• That God will give them the abilities they need to fulfil the tasks He calls them to do.
