August, ‘the war’s deadliest month’ in Afghanistan

Hello!
I’ve carried home for you warm greetings from India and a sweet cup of masala chai. Thank you for your prayers, God’s Presence was strong!

Now, about Afghanistan. Many things are rumbling there and the need for our diligent prayer coverage continues! You probably already know about the 10 Christian medics that were murdered by, reportedly, the Taliban (earlier this month). I have 2 close friends, who were very near to a couple of the medics who were killed. Let’s uphold the grieving families of these dear Kingdom servants.

As for our soldiers, U.S. troop deaths have doubled. They are calling August, ‘the war’s deadliest month’ in Afghanistan. And a wave of aggressive IED’s (improvised explosive device) are being constructed and planted with a new fury. The Ramadan Muslim fasting/feasting month, has ushered in MORE violence.

What can we do?

Keep PRAYING!

-You can do that by linking in with Prayercentral’s Afghan Prayer Patrol:

-You can also jump in with millions of believers who are praying for Muslims during their Ramadan festival (Aug.11-Sept.9th):

May the peace of Jesus carry you forward this week and the wisdom of the Lord establish your actions, attitudes and outlook.

In His love and mine,
Kathleen Dillard

P.S.-I’ll be telling a few stories from India in the upcoming ministry report that I mail out. If you’re interested in getting these, send your mailing address (not your email address) to not2techy@gmail.com and I’ll be sure you get it.

    you do remember praying for me for the gift of evanelism to operate in my life and it did.The very next week I went to a beauty parlour and shared the gospel to two hindu ladies an both received Jesus as their saviour and will be soon visiting our church.

    Thank you so much for your prayer and God be glorified

    Kathleen, I have had you on my heart the whole month of Aug. Glad to hear you mission trip was successful, but also curious to know do you have an answer from our Lord as if you are to relocate once again to India. When my husband was very sick and knew he was going home to the Lord he made everything possible for me to continue on without him. I have been thinking is this what Wayne did by moving all of you back to the states. I hope this is not confusing your direction because of course the Lord will show you.
    God’s blessings t you and the girls Mary Lou
