BREAKING CHAINS IN ERITREA (#6) In Eritrea, only a few church denominations are recognised by the government. Christians who aren’t members of state-approved churches are considered a threat to the state and are likely to be severely punished. Eritrean prisons aren’t like prisons here in the UK – sometimes they are shipping containers that reach scorching temperatures during the day, and drop below freezing at night.Open Doors partners with the local church in Eritrea to provide practical assistance to persecuted Christians, support Bible and discipleship training, and raise awareness and prayer.Watch: Church leader Eyal* talks about being imprisoned for his faith A prayer for Eritrea Lord Jesus, thank You that the gospel can’t be chained and that Your light breaks into the darkest places. Strengthen our sisters and brothers in Eritrea who are imprisoned unjustly and open wide the prison doors that they may see freedom. Unite the church in Eritrea that they may proclaim with one voice that You are Lord.
