Asmara, 13 August, 2023 / 8:44 pm (ACI Africa).
At least 13 Eritrean Christians who have been in an Eritrean prison for 10 years have been released, a development that Voice of the Martyrs Christian ministry describes as answered prayers.
In a message that ACI Africa obtained Friday, August 11, Mr. Todd Nettleton, the host of the Voice of Martyrs (VOM) radio believes that the 13 were released following a prayer campaign the station sent through email last month.
“Our prayers are being answered! Thirteen Eritrean Christians who have been imprisoned for the past 10 years are free today! We celebrate and praise the Lord for their release!” Mr. Nettleton says.
Mr. Nettleton explains that on July 22, he sent out an email asking for prayers for the release of two Christian pastors who were spending their 7,000th day in prison. Enclosed, was also an appeal for the release of hundreds of prisoners being held by the Eritrean government for simply being Christians.
He says that more than 10,000 people added their names to the list of those praying for Pastors Haile Nayzgi and Kiflu Gebremeskel as well as other imprisoned Christians in Eritrea just days after that email went out.
