Eritrea
Release International’s partner in Eritrea provides financial and material assistance to victims of persecution and their families. Eritrea is an authoritarian state, where any religious activity not under the umbrella of Sunni Islam, or the Orthodox, Lutheran or Catholic Churches is banned and has resulted in indefinite prison sentences.
Pray for long-term prisoners in Eritrea, especially some senior pastors who have been in prison for more than 20 years.
Pray for our partner’s workers, in both Eritrea and Ethiopia: that they may know God’s protection and favour, and well as guidance and wisdom in all aspects of their ministry.
Give thanks to God for the recent release of 45 Christian prisoners in Eritrea. Give thanks also that God kept them strong in faith—and in physical health—during their time in prison.
