In Prison for Their Faithful Witness

In nations hostile to Christ, Christians are sentenced to prison for the activity of their faith, where they are often starved, beaten and treated inhumanely.

We encourage you to lift up the following three Christians, who are representative of countless other imprisoned believers. Please pray that they will experience God’s presence, remain steadfast and full of Christ’s hope, and be released from prison soon.

Pastor Li Juncai, in Henan province, China, is serving a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence after protesting government attempts to remove a cross from atop his church building in 2019.
Zhang Wen Shi was kidnapped in November 2014 and locked in a North Korean prison. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his ministry to the North Korean people.
The Rev. Gebremedhin Gebregergis, in Eritrea, has been in prison since November 2004 for his faith in Christ. His wife, the mother of his six children, passed away in 2022.

“Who can separate us from the love of God in Christ? Nobody and nothing. Neither prison nor suffering. The sufferings that God sends us only strengthen us more and more in the faith in him.”

—RICHARD WURMBRAND, THE VOICE OF THE MARTYRS’ FOUNDER AND FORMER PRISONER FOR CHRIST IN COMMUNIST ROMANIA

You can also stand with the spouses and children of faithful believers like these three brothers, offering spiritual encouragement and practical assistance while being a voice for them among other members of the body of Christ.
