Release International Prayer Shields, North Korea and Eritrea

📷 North Korea

Continue to pray in faith that North Korea will once again become a country where people can worship in freedom and truth.

📷 North Korea Continue to pray for the countless North Korean Christians behind bars in the ‘hermit kingdom’. Those who subscribe to any belief system other than juche (self-reliance) suffer severe punishment.

📷 Eritrea Please pray for Dr Kiflu Gebremeskel, the chairman of the Eritrean Evangelical Alliance, imprisoned since May 2004 – and never charged. His wife and four adult children have not been able to visit him.

📷 Eritrea Mussie Ezaz, a youth pastor in Eritrea, was first arrested in 2007; he escaped but was rearrested and is believed to be being held indefinitely as he has never been tried. Pray he will be reunited with his family.

📷 Eritrea Fellow inmates of Mussie Eyob in Eritrea are thought to include Twen Theodros, detained since 2005 when she was a new believer. Ask God to strengthen her.

📷 Eritrea Pray for Mussie Eyob, detained since February 2011. He had been arrested in Saudi Arabia for preaching to Muslims; he was deported back to his native Eritrea where he is believed to be in Me’etr Prison.

📷 Eritrea Pray for the release of several Eritrean Christians arrested during a raid on the Faith Missions Church in Keren city in June. Five church leaders were arrested the next day – in apparent retaliation for church leaders’ recent calls for peace and reconciliation.
