Tajikistan hosts around 13,000 Afghan refugees, the largest number in Central Asia. Most of the refugees fled their homeland when the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021. Some of the Christian refugees have been active in spreading the gospel to the displaced Afghan population in Tajikistan. \"Please pray for these refugees,\" said a front-line worker who worries about what could happen to Afghan Christians if they are forced back across the border."}
