Treatment of Christians prisoners in Eritrea is 'barbaric'

Eritrea recently marked 21 years of independence but for Christians in the country belonging to unregistered churches there is little to celebrate.
Members of underground churches report that there are more than 1,000 Christians in prison for their faith.

They have been behind bars for anything from a few months to over a decade.
Some are released with a "stern warning" not to engage in religious activities of the "unregistered" churches, according to Release Eritrea.

Let us pray for these precious brothers and sisters in the Lord that the presence of Jesus Christ would be a great comfort to them.

2 Timothy 4:17-18
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Lord Is Faithful

17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
