Following the U.S. government’s decision to pull all military presence from Afghanistan, thousands of…American citizens and Afghan refugees…are at threat of arrest or death at the hands of the Taliban.

Many NGOs have sought to fight on behalf of those persecuted in Afghanistan, including missionary Dave Eubank and the Free Burma Rangers (FBR)…

Eubank founded FBR…after a 10-year career in the United States Army Special Forces.

“I think the U.S. pullout is debatable,” Eubanks said. “…there are good arguments for pulling out or for staying, but the way that we pulled out is dishonorable and a horrible breaking of promises…

“…I have started to cry because…of these little girls left in the hands of the Taliban…,” he continued. “Then I thought of the dishonor that we brought on…our country, to promise people…, ‘don’t worry, you’ll all get out.’ And we even left early, and why we stuck to some kind of timeframe with the Taliban is beyond me.”…

“I know there are many brave people in our military who tried their best…,” Eubanks said. “I know, there’s many great people in the State Department who did their best. However, the result was dishonorable, and in some instances, cowardly…My prayer is that our country would look at this again and say, ‘Those are real people we left, we’re sorry…we’re gonna try again to get people out.’”…

“Unless you’re in the Taliban, you’re in deathly fear of the Taliban,” he said. “They are hunting down people right now…and many have been executed…”…

Eubanks said that their priority is giving people the hope of the Gospel.

“The main reason we came is to be ambassadors for Jesus. And we say that…to every Afghan we meet,” Eubanks said. “We are in meetings with different Afghan leaders now saying, ‘God, sent us to serve you, we come in Jesus’ name…”

Eubanks called on fellow Christians to pray…

“I think, number one, pray for truth,” he said. “…We have our own guilt…We…could have kept staying… it’s gonna take generations for Afghanistan to change. America can’t change it…But our presence created a space where generations can change.”…

“…Pray for access to go in…‘there is a God in heaven, who is present with us…Jesus has an answer for all of us…’…pray that help would come that truth would come out from every side…[P]ray that…the Free Burma Rangers and many other groups…can…help people.”

Eubank’s FRB was depicted in the documentary FREE BURMA RANGERS.
