Thoughts on Afghanistan
Many people are wondering how can we help Afghanistan? How do we respond? Here are my thoughts on how we can process what is happening based on wisdom from the scriptures.
1.) Avoid saying “I can empathize”
Avoid saying “I can empathize” to what is happening in Afghanistan. We have no idea what our afghan friends are going through.
Instead, let’s direct our thoughts and emotions towards conducting an internal assessment of our hearts.
3.) Pray Boldly
Boldly approach the throne of God in prayer on behalf of the Afghan people.
4.) Practice Thanksgiving
Embrace your kids, invite them into prayer – and thank God for the freedom to do these things.

In the summer of 1995, George Shamblin left a successful career in pharmaceutical sales, and a year-end bonus large enough to pay for three years of tuition, to enroll at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. Though he experienced more than his share of challenges and setbacks over the next 25 years, it's a decision he's never regretted. Since 2012, Shamblin has served as a pastor with The Center for Executive Leadership, in Birmingham, Alabama where he teaches Bible Studies, disciples others at various stages of spiritual growth, and maintains an active role in leading overseas mission trips. Also an adjunct professor at Birmingham Theological Seminary, Shamblin published his first book, The Relay, in 2020. An avid outdoorsman, as well as a Master Gardener, George and his wife of 27 years, Jill, have four children Sydney, Bailey, Miller, and George Jr.
