Praying for Afghanistan
Amy Orr-Ewing recounts the incredible story of her journey to Afghanistan to deliver a Bible to a Taliban leader who had been praying for one for years.
“So I wake up on the morning of our flight and share this encouraging dream with the other two and they’re like, ‘We think that’s God,’” Amy recalled.
The Taliban Leader
They brought more than 30 copies of the Bible and tried to conceal them so they would pass the luggage check.
“We don’t know whether God blinded their eyes to the Bibles, or they just thought, ‘Wow, Western has read a lot.’ We get into Afghanistan, we get to the city and there’s only one guest house in the city that’s still standing,” Amy recalled.

But it wasn’t easy to interview the Taliban leader. Amy recounted that even journalists from the BBC found it hard to meet them. But because of God’s favor, Amy eventually met the Taliban leader.
Taliban Leader Prayed For Many Years To Receive A Bible
“So I’ve got this bag over my shoulder with the Bibles in it. We walked into the military headquarters of the Taliban education minister, the foreign minister, and the religion minister, as he styled himself The Keeper of the Holy Quran. We were asking them all about their Islamic beliefs and all of that,” Amy recalled.
Then one of her colleagues said that they brought a gift: The Holy Bible. Right after that, the atmosphere changed.
“You could cut the atmosphere with a knife, it’s so tense,” she said.
But the unexpected happened, the education minister stood up and said, “I know exactly what the Bible is. I have prayed to Allah for years that I could read the Bible. I’m going to read it every day until I finish it. Thank you for bringing me a Bible.”
