Breaking News from our friends at Compass Direct...


LOS ANGELES, September 7 (Compass Direct News) – Eritrean authorities tortured a woman to death on Wednesday (September 5) for refusing to recant her Christian faith, the fourth such killing in less than a year, according to a Christian support organization. Open Doors said in a statement that it had confirmed the death of 33-year-old Migsti Haile at the Wi’a Military Training Center; she was one of 10 single Christian women arrested at a church gathering in Keren who have spent 18 months under severe pressure. On February 15, Magos Solomon Semere died under torture at the Adi-Nefase Military Confinement facility outside Assab, and last October 17, two other Christians died from torture wounds in Eritrea. Two days after Immanuel Andegergesh, 23, and Kibrom Firemichel, 30, were arrested for holding a religious service in a private home south of Asmara, they died from torture injuries and severe dehydration in a military camp outside the town of Adi-Quala, eyewitnesses told Compass.   Read the full report here.

Stacy's Note:  I'm not sure about you, but I think the media should be reporting on these stories.  I would love to know more about this precious lady, see a picture of her, learn about her family and also give them all a hug who are now left without their loved one.

I also want to encourage all of you who read these stories daily, like I do, and just thank you and ask you to remember these nations in prayer.   But even  just as important, if you can, please take one of these blog entries and copy it and email  it to your pastor or email list because  more people need to know.  If you do this, please email me at the link on the sidebar.  Thank you so much!
