ERITREA: To Know Him More

ERITREA: To Know Him More

January 12, 2018 · 25 min

Helen Berhane was a well-known worship leader and gospel singer in the churches of Eritrea when the government outlawed evangelical churches. In one week these churches went from meeting openly in large public services to being underground, meeting in homes and hiding from police. In the midst of that crackdown, Helen was arrested, beaten and put in prison. Listen as Helen shares how she prepared her heart, ahead of time, for the days when she would face persecution. She'll talk about the Scriptures she drew strength from, and how she was able to keep singing praise to God, even as her suffering increased. Listen to how she experienced God's amazing presence, even locked inside a metal shipping container for many months. Listen also to Part 2 of our conversation with Helen.
