Story number 3 for 5 Oct 2001

(Afghanistan)–Christian Aid Mission is reporting that many Afghans are converting to Christianity while living outside of their native land. In the past year, 32 new churches have been formed in nearby Kyrgyzstan, and 20 of them are made up primarily of former Muslims, among them refugees from Afghanistan. Indigenous churches in countries that border Afghanistan on the north also have many former Muslims in their congregations, including Afghan refugees. Many Afghanis are responding to the kindness being shown by loving Christians abroad.
