Collin Hansen reflects on the media questions about last week’s martyrdom of eight Christian aid workers in Afghanistan.
An excerpt:
Even non-Christians will grant that the men and women who lost their lives for treating eyes demonstrated their love for Afghans in their good works. But love turns to imperialism when eye camp gives way to Bible school. Evangelism is perceived as arrogant disregard, even hatred, for the Afghans or anyone else who does not yet believe in Jesus Christ for salvation.
Remember to pray for the families, and that the gospel would run in Afghanistan—and wherever Christ is not yet named (Rom. 15:20-21).
