Afghanistat

Tonight I attended another PACT (Prayer And Action Changes Things) meeting at church.

The speaker was a guy from Tear Fund who presented a ton of information about Afghanistan (estimated population: 28 million), some of which was, as expected, correcting the News here.

Having spent a lot of time in the country, he closed his talk by inviting questions. Someone asked how many Christians / churches there were in the country. He said there was just no way of knowing, and speculated that it could well be as low as a couple of hundred.

I reasoned that he obviously meant just a couple of hundred Christian churches, but I checked with him later just to make sure. He didn't. He meant he reckoned that there might be as few as just a couple of hundred Christians.
