Father I lift up to you the church in Eritrea that is being persecuted for its faith in you. I ask that your Word become so widespread that it becomes a strong faith based country where you reign in the lives of the majority of the people. In His Love and Care, Mary

Eritrea cracks down on religion even more as woman dies in detention center
The Eritrean government wants to enforce even stricter control on Islam, Catholicism and the Evangelical Church.

Yet another Christian has died in the face of persecution in one of Eritrea’s detention centers. On Jan. 24, Hana Hagos Asgedom, 41, became the eleventh believer to die in these detention centers. Asgedom suffered a heart attack while being held in solitary confinement at Alla Military Camp.

Open Doors said, “Shortly before her death, she apparently endured beatings with an iron rod for refusing to ‘make the chief commander in the camp a cup of coffee.’ When Asgedom resisted this order, which Christians interpret as sexual advances, she was apparently sent back to her cell where she endured punishment and later succumbed to the heart attack.”

Asgedom was originally arrested and held in Wi’a Military Camp for three years. However, when the camp shut down, she and the other prisoners were moved to Alla, where she was given a final chance to renounce her faith. When she refused, she spent the rest of her life in solitary confinement.

Just days before Asgedom’s death, Open Doors said Pastor Habtom Twelde was released from prison on Jan. 21. Arrested in 2008, sources believe he was released because of “complications from his diabetes.” However, upon release, authorities told him not to continue Christian activities.

Despite the pastor’s freeing, the Eritrean government has recently wanted even more control over religion. In December, they “ordered the heads of Islam, the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church to stop receiving funding from their partners abroad.”

Instead, the government would fund and control the institutions. While the Catholic Church responded, saying the orders were against their belief, Open Doors does not know if the Evangelical Lutheran Church or Muslims have reacted.

Pray for the Church in Eritrea.
Pray for the believers to be strong in the face of persecution and to continue to boldly share the gospel.

I pray for Dale, Kim and their family. I know the transplant has taken place. Father, I ask that Dale's body accepts the new marrow. Let it strengthen him. I ask for healing for Dale and peace and comfort for the entire family.

I also ask for healing for Cathy. And that someone will step forward to help her financially.

God, you are gracious and merciful. I ask for miracles. All things are possible for you.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
God bless,
Mary O.

Father : I praise you and thank you for the lives of these people whom you love and sent your Son for them. I ask for the very best provision and treatment for Cathy Phillips for all her treatments even though she has no insurance at this time. Please send her compassionate Dr. who will treat her. Also for Dale that the miracle of the transplant will work splendidly for him and give him the hope that is within all of us. I ask that you send your Spirit to them to minister to their souls and bring comfort to them and their loved ones.
