Ask God to heal Pastor ‘Titus’. Severe beatings in prison in Eritrea have damaged his back. Give thanks that he loves to worship and ministers to others through song.

Praise God for the many Eritrean Christians who testify as to how God saved them from arrest. Pastor Tesfahans gives thanks that his wife’s sudden illness meant he was away from home when police came to arrest him.
Eritrea
Give thanks that Richard Wurmbrand’s books helped prepare a young Eritrean Christian, Tesfit, for the persecution he was later to face. Pray that many others facing persecution in Eritrea will be moved by the testimony of the man who inspired the founding of Release.

Pray for ‘Aki’, an Eritrean Christian widow who attended training provided by Release International partners, that she will keep looking to the Lord and be reminded that the church is the bride of Christ.

An Eritrean pastor who attended training run by Release partners said afterwards: ‘We are filled with hope and faith!’ Pray that Eritrean believers who have fled their homeland will know the truth of Romans 8:28, that ‘in all things God works for the good of those who love him’.

Pray for about 40 Eritrean Christians who received discipleship training in Ethiopia earlier this year through Release partners: to strengthen their faith, equip them for ministry and help them deal with trauma.
Eritrea
Ask God to heal the trauma of the many Eritrean Christians who have been arrested because of their faith. They are often beaten and tortured; some have been imprisoned several times.
