One year after the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, the situation inside the beleaguered nation is dire. Todd Nettleton, spokesman for The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), a persecution watchdog serving Christians across the globe, told CBN's Faithwire about the tragic conditions on the ground. In addition to the general poverty and desperation, minority populations like Christians face even more pronounced disarray and suffering. Yet, despite the horrors anticipated under Taliban rule, many Christians stayed in Afghanistan.
"Afghan Christians who were less well known, many of them made the incredibly bold decision to stay in Afghanistan," Nettleton said. "They knew also what the Taliban's theology was, they knew also what would happen if they were outed as Christians, but their attitude was, 'Listen, if all the Christians leave the country, who's still going to be here to share the Gospel?'"
