The settlement of Afghan refugees in the United States has created an unprecedented opportunity for outreach. In response to the need for resources on Christianity for Afghans, the International Mission Board (IMB) is now providing resources to help churches and individuals share the gospel. These resources have been made possible through the generosity of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas.

Resources available at store.imb.org for Afghans include:
