22 Families Executed in Afghanistan
Last night I began getting phone calls and text messages about this. The text message was:
From: (Number Omitted) Msg: Please pray for 22 Christian misionary (sic) families that will be executed today in Afghanistan. Please spread to others fast.
I am a skeptic and I have not been able to find any verifiable evidence that suggests that this text message is true. The “families” part seems very suspect to me as well as the specificity of the “22.” The sensational nature of the whole thing also makes me wonder.
Anybody know anything?
Amazing that the sms managed to travel around the world…
I’m in singapore and just received it a few minutes ago.
I’m in New York, and I received the same sms/Text last night.
It’s circulating in New Zealand now – glad I found this before the virus! Good reminder to pray for missionaries…
I got it today, am in Kenya and this means it has spread to the whole world. I dont think its true. Searching on the internet there is nothing to indicate that. Might Christians be used to spread lies?
I found this info on the internet
It seems to confirm what you guys are already thinking

Im in South Africa, got woken up by a friend this morning in complete panic over this…thought i’d look it up…like everyone else i found nothing on main stream media about it, I REALLY DO PRAY ITS A HOAX…
Very strange how people can do this. I got this message today when waking up getting ready for prayer. But strange before I went to prayer, my spirit just told me to search this on the internet and found nothing. Strange,how can 22 families be executed and still no international news agencies reporting it. I personally advise that we should pray for all christians under the devil’s attack around the world, so that when we get such messages, we can boldly say,”If God is for us, who can be against us” and still thank God that “No weapon formed against us shall prosper”
As one has said, it becomes a concern as one does not know if it is true or not, because whoever is the author of this email or sms picked up a real threat story. But I must say, however, whether this is a hoax email/sms, one thing I have learnt today, Christians all over the world are united! Keep it up Saints and keep on praying not for the 22 but for all christians under persecution around the world. God bless you all!
Heard about it from a friend and prayed. Just tried to check on the internet today but their is nothing. Whether it is a hoax or truth let’s do our part and leave the rest to God, though it would be nice if the origin of the text would be known.
Got the text(27th Feb) of it (in Nigeria),prayed & thought to check up today; really glad its hoax & the unity in christendom.Guess we all should be watchful & remember to pray daily for all missionaries all over the world.
God will surely bless the families because they have chosen to sacrifice themselves for him. it is guaranteed that they will be at his right hand.
