Believer Sentenced to Prison

Africa
Ethiopia

January 15, 2011

UPDATE: The ETHIOPIAN believer accused of writing “Jesus is Lord” on the Koran has been sentenced to three years in prison—despite the lack of evidence against him. Two of his friends were fined for visiting him and taking food to him. After his sentencing in late November, he was transferred to a harsh Islamic jail.

Pray that God will sustain him during his imprisonment and hasten his release. “But the Word of God is not bound!”
