God had spoken. Will he not act? The Bible says; "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights & withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey & robbing the fatherless." (Is.10: 1-2)

WHY DO WE NEED TO PRAY? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IN ERITREA? WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE ASKED WHY WE WORSHIP GOD? Please read the following information taken from the Open Doors website.

Those who went to be with the Lord through brutal torture, denied treatment of Malaria and other sicknesses, while in prison, just because of their faith in Christ, we call them martyrs are like:

The seventy released prisoners, who have been arrested in Asmara, Dekemhare, Keren, Massawa and Mendefera and transported to Mitire Military Concentration Camp for Military punishment, were simply told to go home. They have no idea why they were released while around 2,800 religious prisoners remain captive across the nation."

Is it true the government officials destroy Bibles by fire? Please read this:

Eight believers punished for objecting to officials' burning of 1,500 Bibles.

August 12, 2008 by spiritualcourage     LOS ANGELES, August 11 (Compass Direct News) - Authorities on Tuesday (August 5) locked up eight high school students at a military training school in metal shipping containers for objecting to the burning of hundreds of Bibles.

The eight male students who were near Eritrea's border with Sudan, were incarcerated after military authorities confiscated more than 1,500 personal Bibles from new students.  The eight students objected when military officials began burning the Bibles.

"During the time that the Bibles were set on fire, the chief commander of Sawa, Col. Debesai Ghide, gave a warning to all the students by telling them that Sawa is a place of patriotism, not a place for ‘Pentes' [Pentecostals],'" said one source. "Eight male students to whom God gave boldness to speak against the burning of the Bibles have been taken into custody in one of the metal shipping containers that the military at Sawa uses as prison cells for Christians who have been found practicing their faith in the center."

Reading the Bible privately, discussing Christian faith with other students, praying before or after meals alone or in groups and possessing the Bible or any other Christian literature is forbidden at the Sawa center, the source said. Students involved in such activities are liable to imprisonment and severe military punishment.         (This was reported in OPEN DOORS website)

            These information might help you now to pray more for Eritrea. In the prayer guide some of the prophetic words God has spoken to some of us are build up with Bible Scriptures, and relevant prayer items. Please print it out and have it in you hands, which you will be able to pray accordingly. Don't just read in the internet as a news paper and go. Use it in a daily base and pray for us. Be the rescue to see us have Eritrea in the hand of the righteous. The Lord bless you mightily as you pray with us, for us, & for yourself.

Yours in Christ,
