Call to prayer for Afghanistan and service member families

Last week our great nation lost thirteen brave service members to a
craven terrorist attack at the Kabul airport. Family Policy Alliance
is calling for prayer not just for their families, but for the
families of all service members who have fought and sacrificed during
the war in Afghanistan. As an officer veteran of the U.S. Army's
10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), I have seen the toll this
conflict has taken on the physical and behavioral health of our
warfighters and their families. The blood of my friends and brothers
in arms stains the Afghan earth, and the tears of their families
continue to grace our own land. We must pray for the physical and
emotional comfort, healing, and recovery for all our service members
and their families these past two decades, particularly those who have
tirelessly endured assisting in the recent chaotic evacuation.

This evacuation reveals much, but the Biden's
Administration's disregard for families here and around the
world is perhaps the most troubling. Because of the Taliban takeover
of Afghanistan that the Biden Administration deliberately enabled,
families throughout Afghanistan will suffer at the hands of extreme
Islam. Women and girls will be particularly oppressed, losing
equality, freedom, opportunity, and security. We therefore also call
for prayer on behalf of the nuclear family in Afghanistan: that
families throughout the country will be protected, shielded, and
allowed to flourish even under the pressure of a jihadist regime.

America has always been a beacon of hope for families; may we continue
to be in our prayers and deeds in the wake of this calamity.

In prayer,

Joseph Kohm III
Public Policy Director
