Three Christians were recently released on bail in Eritrea, according to the Dutch office of Open Doors. Two of the men, both in their 80s, had been arrested in November and were being held at the Mitire military prison camp in north-eastern Eritrea. The third man had been held in a police station for six months.
Thank God for the release of these believers. Pray for their healing from this ordeal and pray for the thousands of others who continue to suffer horrendous persecution at the hands of their government.
