I'm sure all of you have been waiting anxiously to hear what's happening, but as you can imagine in a situation like this, there is very little that can be said while the situation is ongoing for obvious security reasons. Please check out the FAQs.

Those of you who have worked overseas will know that things rarely go as quickly as anticipated, so thank you for your patience and continued prayers.
God is BIGGER!

We are so blown away about the amazing generosity of our friends, family, and complete strangers! We are currently sitting at 1.2 million dollars raised within the last 48 hours, and now we need your help again, this time by making a phone call to your senator and congressperson.
As you all know, we are currently in the midst of attempting to help over 700 people evacuate from within Kabul in Afghanistan. These people include American citizens as well as Afghanis who have worked for various humanitarian and religious organizations within the country. We currently have multiple planes on the ground in the airport and need assistance from the US government to help get our people onto the waiting planes.
We have attached a call script that you can use while calling/emailing your representative.
Please don't forget to keep praying that God will open the right doors.
God is Bigger!

​Update: I know many of you are waiting anxiously for an update as to the situation and what is happening. Due to the current security situation on the ground we cannot provide any situational updates at this time, but please keep us in prayer as we are working tirelessly and around the clock in these efforts. Hopefully we will be able to provide a more tangible update within the next 24-48 hours. Please continue to uphold us and the people of Afghanistan in your prayers.

Many people have asked if they can still give, and the answer is, yes. While we have reached our fundraising target for one plane (so so incredible!!!), the number of people on our evacuation list has increased significantly and we currently have the ability to procure another 1 or 2 planes pending funding. Since this is the case we've extended our fundraising efforts for the next 24 hours.

I'm sure you are aware of the current tragic situation taking place in Afghanistan. This situation is close to my heart as I personally spent time in Afghanistan assisting with infrastructure development in Northern Afghanistan.

Together with nPraxis International we’ve found a way to evacuate my former translator and in total 350 active aid workers. All of these people find themselves in severe danger for their lives. Time is critical in this operation as things are quickly deteriorating in Afghanistan. We have to make this happen by Monday or Tuesday, at the latest, due to the planned military withdrawal on August 31st.
​
The only thing standing between us and starting the operation is the funding for it. nPraxis International is coordinating the donations. They’re a 501©3 organization founded in 2010 in Tennessee as a “new generation” of mission agency. They currently support 330 full-time missionaries.

Arrangements have been made to get all 350 people to the airport and onto the tarmac. We’ve also arranged to have an organization fly in and get them out. We simply lack the funding for the plane. We are asking your participation in raising $800,000 in order to get them out to another country. If the plan is not successful, all donations will be returned. You can contribute to this effort by donating through nPraxis International to the following Emergency Flight link.

Update: Good news! Three planes have been secured and are already in Afghanistan. It's been very busy and dynamic day trying to adapt to the constantly changing situation on the ground! We've been able to extend our deadline until midnight tonight (EST). We have raised $350,000 today, and need an additional $450,000 by night in order to get our people on these flights. Thanks again for all your support and the amazing generosity of everyone who has given and shared!
