Gayle Williams was in Afghanistan working with a interdenominational Christian aid group called SERVE (Serving Emergency Relief and Vocational Enterprise), a charity that works with handicapped Afghans. The 34 year old British citizen was shot and killed this morning while walking to work, targeted for assassination by the Taliban. Her crime was sharing her Christian faith with others.
SERVE officials have denied that Williams or any of their people are actively proselytizing to the Christian faith, which is against the law in Afghanistan. But perhaps a faith real that it drives one half-way around the world to help others in desperate need is enough to seen by the Taliban as evangelistic? Can one give a cup of cold water be given in Jesus name without it being done in Jesus’ name? Praise God for people like Gayle Williams; may God bless her family and friends.
What I couldn’t help but wonder is this—if the Taliban started shooting people in American for evangelizing, how many of us would be in danger?

Feeding and clothing the enemy is an active act of proselytizing the Christian faith as is showing mercy would all these be punishable by death? What was the Taliban thinking? Who made that law? And did they think about it before they enforced it? They were there to help and were helping the people and they were making the leadership look bad, so they killed her! That is the way I see it end of story.
ummm, were do you get this stuffF
