During the chaos and confusion of the Afghan evacuation, unlikely heros arose to fill the gap that our inept government officials created. Televangelist Kenneth Copeland loaned his private jet to conservative talk radio host Glen Beck who rescued more than 5000 endangered Christians in Afghanistan— a Goliath task he said was accomplished with no help from the U.S. government.
Beck said he “can’t thank Kenneth Copeland Ministries enough for lending us their plane to get us over here,” referring to an undisclosed country in the Middle East.
Lord David Alton, a British politician known for his humanitarian efforts, lauded Beck for his work to rescue endangered Afghans. “As the world abandons Afghan minorities to the Taliban,” he wrote, “Glenn Beck — emulating Oscar Schindler — did something about it, putting into practice the injunction to ‘rescue those who are being taken away to death…and those stumbling to the slaughter.’”
Beck responded to Alton, writing, “You have done heroic work yourself. It is strange indeed to be called heroic for simply doing what we all know is right. When more of us wake from our slumber, heroism will regain its rightful meaning and place.”
