Afghan in Germany

Ever since the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979, there have been waves of Afghan refugees fleeing for safety. Most of them now live in neighboring Pakistan or Iran, but some have made their way to the more peaceful shores of European countries, including Germany. Those who have marketable skills are usually able to relocate, while those without such skills often get stuck in refugee camps and low-end jobs. Christ followers can make friends with Afghans in the workplace and in their neighborhoods. It will take time before they earn the right to tell these Muslims about Jesus.

Afghan in Germany are often fleeing the influence of self-righteous religious zealots. They are understandably skeptical about anything spiritual.
