  • Afghanistan: Taliban error

    Barnabas Fund

    Taliban militants attempted to attack a Christian-run day-care centre on March 28 in Kabul, saying it was ‘a church used to convert Muslims to Christianity’.

    The assailants, however, mistakenly targeted the next-door building, which houses workers with a US government-sponsored project that runs agricultural and de-mining programmes throughout the country.

  • Guam and Sri Lanka:

    Fellowship of European Broadcasters

    Trans World Radio is replacing obsolete computers and support software for broadcasts in Guam and Sri Lanka which reach a vast area of spiritually needy people, it was reported in late March.

    Broadcasts are heard in North Korea; isolated villages in Papua New Guinea; in India, where some 20,000 people respond to broadcasts each month; and they provide training for pastors in China where tens of thousands of people are responding to the gospel each year.
