Persecution changes us for the better’- a letter from an Eritrean Christian


Imprisoned church leaders in Eritrea desperately need your continuing prayers

Since 2002, thousands of Christians in Eritrea accused of gathering illegally – because they don’t belong to state-approved church denominations – have been arrested and imprisoned in the country’s vast network of prisons. Please join us as we continue to pray for our persecuted church family who are still serving prison sentences for their faith.
