Prayer Service for Aid Workers in Afghanistan

Season 5

A prayer service is held at the home church of two aid workers detained in Afghanistan.

Two American aid workers in Afghanistan, 29-year-old Dayna Curry and 24-year-old Heather Mercer, were arrested by security officials and accused of preaching Christianity, which is strictly forbidden by the Taliban. They, along with six other foreigners and sixteen afghans, were detained, and their trial is proceeding.
