Release International Prayer Shields, Eritrea and Pakistan

Eritrea

Pray for five Christian women arrested in Eritrea when they took to the streets to celebrate the release of a total of 69 Christians freed last summer.

Eritrea

The reasons behind recent prisoner releases in Eritrea have not been given, though some have linked it to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is understood those who have been freed must not leave the country. Pray that they will not be returned to jail.

Eritrea

Thank God that the Eritrean Government ordered the release on bail of 22 Methodist Christians from prison in July.

Eritrea

Praise God for the release on bail in September of 31 Christians who had been detained in Mai Serwa prison, Eritrea without charge or trial for years, some for more than a decade.

Pakistan

Pray that the abductors of the teenage girls in recent days’ prayers will repent of their actions and free the girl who is still captive in Pakistan.

Pakistan

Pray for a 15-year-old who remains in captivity in Pakistan since being abducted in Sindh province in October 2019, despite her family’s efforts to secure her freedom through the courts. Some reports say the girl is now pregnant.

Pakistan

Continue to pray for a 14-year-old girl in Pakistan who was abducted at gunpoint near Faisalabad and forced to marry her kidnapper. Recent reports suggest she managed to escape and has gone into hiding.
