The Mission Field
You've Prayed For
Most American missionary work in Afghanistan shut down in 2021 and has not gone back. The families your church prayed for are now resettled in American cities — no visa, no security escort, no years of groundwork before you can sit in their living room.
They are here. They are open. They are alone.
Not a redirect. An expansion.
Most of the families we work with have never had a Christian in their home. Not because they refused one — because there wasn't one to have. In Kandahar that conversation took years of groundwork and cost people their lives. In Houston it takes a casserole and a ride to the DMV.
The same mission field your church has been praying over for twenty years is now a forty-minute drive from your sanctuary, in an apartment complex with no furniture and no English.
“Your overseas mission work is sacred. And the same mission field — Afghan families, hearing the gospel — is now on American soil, where you don't need years of groundwork to reach them. They are here. They are open. They are alone.”
Four things partner churches can do.
Not necessarily all at once. Many churches start with one and add as it goes.
Fund named families
Your partnership underwrites essential services for specific families — not a general fund. You get their first names and their milestones.
Send sponsor teams
If you have the capacity, four to eight adults from your congregation walk with one family for twelve months. We recruit, train, vet, and staff every team.
Host a hub event
One Saturday in your building: twenty to forty ally families, a hot meal, childcare, and your people in the room with them.
Put Aziz in your pulpit
A Sunday service, a missions weekend, or a men's breakfast. He tells his own story, in his own words.
From Afghan interpreter, to Christian witness.
Aziz spent years interpreting for American units in Afghanistan, got his own family out in 2021—the account of his rescue became the Wall Street Journal bestseller Saving Aziz. He came to faith in Christ after the men he served alongside kept showing up for him.
Partner churches get him in person: the mission, the numbers, and his own testimony from Islam to Christianity, told plainly to a congregation that has been praying for exactly this and did not know it had arrived.
Start with one Saturday.
Donate your building for a day. We bring twenty to forty ally families, the meal, the childcare, and the partner organizations. Your people meet them face to face before anyone talks about a potential partnership.
Ready to take the next step in your missions ministry?
Not a mailing list. Nobody from KIAC will show up at your church uninvited.
Three other ways
to show up.
If you're one person in the pews rather than the one who signs the checks, start here.
Give monthly
Recurring gifts are what let us promise a family twelve months instead of twelve weeks.
Walk with a family
Build a sponsor team of four to eight people. Twelve months, real relationship, full training and a staff case lead.
Mentor as a veteran
If you served with them, you already speak the language. One video call a week, from anywhere in the country.
