Some of our friends are still working to help Christian Afghanis escape from Afghanistan. While we were in Roma, we had the distinct pleasure of meeting two outstanding brothers in Christ who had fled Afghanistan several years before. Both of these men had great testimonies, but the guy on the left had one of the most fascinating testimonies we have ever heard.
I can't recall all he said, and I wish I had written it down. Part of his escape from Afghanistan involved clinging to the underside of a truck for about two hours! He noted that when he finished that ride, passersby looked at him probably wondering how he had gotten so dirty and disheveled. I guess riding under a truck on dirt roads will do that for you.After some time in Norway they wound up in Roma, where The Bridges ministry of Agape Italia took them in and led them both to Christ. Our hero had never finished high school, so Agape got him enrolled in Roma. This year is his senior year and his classmates elected him Class President! Go figure.
Again, G^d blessed us to hear these stories and meet these two fine young men. They fixed us some authentic Afghani food. It was delicious--but not as delicious as our fellowship with these two brothers in Christ.
