UPDATE: As I'm sure most of you are now aware, the USA pulled out of Afghanistan today. With that news I'm sure you are wondering what's happened to all the people that we've been trying to get out. The difficult reality is the fact that at this point we have not been able to get anyone out of the country, and while that fact is very discouraging to all of us who have been working literally around the clock (and I'm sure to all of you), there remains significant room for hope.
We currently have multiple front and back channel conversations going on, and are confident that there is still a tangible way to get these people out within the next few days. We have been working around the clock with very little sleep trying to ensure everything is done from a human standpoint and ask that you please continue to hold this project up in your prayers, and I will provide another update update within the next 24 hours.
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.

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.
