The Voice of the Martyrs - Urgent prayer needed

How should we pray for our Eritrean brothers and sisters in Christ?

Members of the global body of Christ are experiencing violence, imprisonment and even death because of their Christian witness. And you can make a powerful difference by committing to pray for these faithful believers!

The need for prayer is especially urgent right now for Eritrean Christian prisoners and their families. Hundreds are imprisoned because of their Christian faith. As they follow Christ in some of the most difficult conditions in the world, let us remember them and their families in prayer.

Eritrea, in East Africa, is governed by a totalitarian regime that seeks to control every aspect of life — including religion. The government maintains control of approved churches and has arrested Christians without warning, providing no opportunity for a trial.

Conditions inside these prisons are some of the worst in the world. Christian prisoners are provided meager rations and are often held in shipping containers in extreme desert conditions, sometimes for years.

Please pray for these prisoners and for their families, who are not allowed to visit their imprisoned loved one.

As you feel led, please prayerfully consider an online donation to help more than 250 Christian prisoners and their families with food, medicine, clothing and pastoral care.
