ERITREA:The Release of Prisoners

On last February 7, 2008 it was reported that an unspecified number of Christians from the underground Eritrean Faith Missions Church, were imprisoned in the city of Agordat.However, 35 Christian men and women were reported to be released by Eritrean officials on February 16th.Eritrean officials then commenced to release Christian prisoners in Assab who had been in jail for six years!There are hopes that the Eritrean government will next release the remaining thousands of Christians who are in jail because of their faith.Praise God for this miraculous release of imprisoned Christians.
Pray that the Holy Spirit’s presence will fill Eritrea and the remaining Christians will be released soon.
Pray that upon being released, the Christian prisoners will offer forgiveness to their persecutors.
