Eritrean Christians continue to be targeted by authorities and imprisoned for their faith, according to an October 30 report from Open Doors-USA. Teklesenbet Gebreab Kiflom (36), a member of the Full Gospel Church who was detained for approximately a year at the Wi'a Military Confinement Centre, died recently of malaria. He reportedly suffered harsh military punishment and was denied medical attention.
Authorities have arrested 65 believers belonging to house churches in recent weeks. Officials made the arrests in five different locations, working off of a list of names that sources believe were provided by informants around the country.
Pray for those mourning the loss of brother Teklesenbet. Pray for the release of imprisoned Christians. Ask God to work in the hearts of Eritrea's leaders.
