Presentation transcript:

THE #7 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Known as the ‘North Korea of Africa’, Eritrea is an extremely volatile place for Christians. Homes are raided, Bibles confiscated and Christians are forced to disappear. Believers are imprisoned and tortured so they would deny Christ. Despite this, the Church continues to remain faithful in the face of persecution.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for those that are imprisoned for their faith, to find peace and comfort in the midst of their situation. Pray for persecuted Christians; that they will be able to forgive their persecutors. Pray for unity for the Church in Eritrea.
