Would you take a moment to pray for these Christians from Eritrea? Thank you for being One With Them!

Eritrean security arrested 17 Christians in Emba-Derho on Wednesday, October 10. The arrest took place after the house, where the believers were gathered, was searched. Among the group were five married women who have children.

Emba-Derho is approximately 14 km from the capital Asmara. The families were taking part in a ‘prayer and fasting’ program at a fellow believers’ house when security officers interrupted the meeting. Everyone present was arrested and taken to an unknown location.

According to an eye-witness, the believers were beaten by the officers who marched them to the main road where a military truck waited. Women were heard crying and pleading for mercy.

Prayer Points:

1. Pray for God’s grace and protection on these Christians, especially on the women.

2. Please pray that family members would soon find out more about their beloveds whereabouts.
