Breaking News: Over 200 Christians Detained in Eritrea
Glenn Penner, Communications Director from VOM Canada just sent out this very important prayer alert. Please pass on this important information and pray for all involved.
Over 200 Christians Detained in Eritrea
More than two hundred Eritrean Christians have been arrested in coordinated raids on churches, workplaces, homes and off the streets since September 30.
The primary concerns are for the safety of those arrested, as well as families left at home. Sources in Eritrea consider this to be the worst action of its kind to date.
Pray for these and hundreds of other Christians detained for their faith in Eritrea and facing torture and imprisonment under unimaginable conditions.
Pray for families left without any source of income. Pray for safety for the Christians not yet detained but in imminent danger from the Eritrean authorities.
