Underground Church Hunted

Africa
Eritrea

January 22, 2011

Security forces in ERITREA obtained a list of people involved in the underground church. In an “end of year purge” on Christians in a southern province, they arrested approximately 40 believers as of the last report.

Ask God to protect the Christians who are on the list. Pray also for the release of the 40 newly arrested Christians and the thousands already in Eritrean prisons. “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?”
