Release International Prayer Shields, Eritrea and Burkina Faso.

Eritrea

Thank God for the release of 22 women detained at a prayer meeting in March in Asmara, Eritrea. Pray for the release of a man from this group who remains in custody.

Eritrea

The Eritrean Government actively seeks to infiltrate underground churches and imprison their leaders. Pray that God will keep Christian leaders hidden from their persecutors.

Burkina Faso

Pray that God would thwart jihadist plans in Burkina Faso, so that they will be overtaken by infighting and rivalry. Pray that the church will be more unified than ever.

Burkina Faso

Please pray that national and regional authorities in Burkina Faso will take stronger action to protect citizens, especially those targeted by extremist violence because of their faith.

Burkina Faso

Some of those whom Release partners are supporting in Burkina Faso include children whose fathers were killed in terrorist attacks. Pray that God will provide role models and mentors for these children.

Burkina Faso

Pray for a Release partner in Burkina Faso providing practical and spiritual support to families including those of pastors Daniel, John and Stephen (see previous prayers).

Burkina Faso

Please pray for the family of Pastor ‘Daniel’ who was killed by militants. They also attacked his church in the north of Burkina Faso.
