Evangelists arrested for “creating social unrest” in Ethiopia
Yonas and Yerga (not their real names), two well-known evangelists in the Muslim-majority region of western Ethiopia, were arrested on August 25 and imprisoned on false changes of “creating social unrest,” according to VOMC sources. Although the men were not physically tortured in prison, they said they were insulted, threatened and “very poorly treated.” Both were released on September 5 but the charges against them were not dropped. At last report, they were scheduled to appear in court on September 8.
Pray that the Lord will continue to make these believers strong to withstand opposition. Pray that their family members will entrust the situation into His care. Pray that Christian leaders in Ethiopia will work together to increase Christ’s kingdom at all cost (Ephesians 2:14-16).

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWhile teaching History in a classroom, We came across a remarkable statement in the class book. Ethiopia was mentioned as, “The first Christian nation in the world.” With all those Christian nations in the world claiming Christianity as their heritage, this ancient nation of the world (Ethiopia) in the Horn of Africa is now facing persectution by Muslims. What are the rest of us doing to come to the aid of this country which has been known at one time as a Christian Island in a sea of Islamic nations?
