Encourage the prisoner/the persecuted

Got this via e-mail today…

On May 11, 2005 Evangelist Girmay Ambaye, was arrested by security police in Eritrea for witnessing about Christ to people on a city bus. It is the third time Ambaye has been imprisoned for his faith in the last few years.
Please send a letter of encouragement and let Evangelist Ambaye know that you are praying for him and other persecuted believers in Eritrea. Let your friends know about the suffering Christians in Eritrea and encourage them to pray and write to Ambaye.
Your letters make a difference sometimes resulting in shorter prison sentences. Write to Ambaye today and let him know you are praying for him.

According to PrisonerAlert.com there are a number of other Christians being held for their faith in countries around the world.

China – 8
Eritrea – 4
North Korea – 1
Uzbekistan – 1
Vietnam – 2

I’m sure these aren’t the only ones, but they are the ones PrisonerAlert.com (Voice of the Martyrs) is aware of and highlighting. Take a moment and send some encouraging words to our brothers and sisters around the world.
