Aid for Afghan refugees

Anglican Aid is meeting the needs of Afghan Christian families who are fleeing persecution by the Taliban in Afghanistan. They have secured places in Brazil’s refugee intake, and will be cared for by Anglican Aid’s long term partner Sammy (Sami) Nagib, together with the Anglican Diocese of Vitoria in Brazil.

As well as caring for the physical needs of those who are fleeing the country, Anglican Aid has also partnered with Megavoice to provide secure audio-Bible players to Afghan Christians who have suffered under the Taliban.

For more information, see the main appeal web page: Aid for Afghan refugees – Anglican Aid.

Anglican Aid prayer

Heavenly Father, 

Whose will it is that all people will be saved, and come to a knowledge of  the truth, and whose will it is that we care for the poor, needy, widows, orphans and refugees. 

We pray for the work of the Archbishop of Sydney’s Anglican Aid. 

We pray for your grace to fulfil every good work that you have prepared for us in advance to do as we anticipate the triumphant return of our King and Saviour, in whose name we pray. 

Amen.
