Kabul Hope | Raised to Walk

Team Kabul Hope

What is Kabul Hope? It is a group of Afghan Christians seeking a place to call home and to live in peace. Along with our weekly lessons learning about the Prince of Peace, a group of friends are actively seeking immigration paths for our Afghan friends.

Our Afghan members are in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. In both countries, there is severe need. Financial support is needed to keep them going and to move them to the next step in their journey to a place to call home. Follow our weekly updates for the latest news.

There is a saying “talk is cheap.” We can say anything, but what we actually believe and who we are is shown by what we do. James says essentially the same thing in James 2-26 when he writes, “faith without works is dead.”
