We are so excited to have VOM Radio as a sponsor for Pray Every Day this month.
Listen to
VOM Radio to meet Hana, the daughter of an Eritrean Christian Pastor who has been in prison there without charges for more than 20 years.
Dr. Tekleab Mengisteab was a medical doctor and a leader in the World Health Organization for the nation of Eritrea. He was also an ordained minister in the Orthodox Church of Eritrea. Since November 19, 2004, Dr. Mengisteab has been a prisoner for Christ, imprisoned without charge or trial by the government of Eritrea. Today he is one of more than 300 imprisoned Christians there.
Listen as Mengisteab’s daughter, Hana, shares the story of her father’s arrest and of God’s faithfulness to her and her family through the past 20 years. She will tell us how she has found joy amidst suffering, but also how she’s come to know that the Lord “welcomes my grief.”
Hana was just six years old when her father was arrested. She remembers her mother and church elders at their home talking about her father being gone. “What did it mean that my father is in prison?” Hana wondered. Even after Dr. Mengisteab’s arrest, the church continued to meet and minister. Hana’s mom continued her church activities, risking her own arrest.
Only months after her father’s arrest, Hana found herself in police custody when authorities raided a children’s Sunday School meeting. Children as young as 12 were put in handcuffs, yet these young believers had been prepared for Christian persecution. They began to loudly sing praises to God.

We are so excited to also welcome Kerry Larson Luddy as a sponsor for Pray Every Day this month.
A respected Christian apologist is exposed for leading a double life and preying on women. A pastor and his family receive death threats after apologizing for giving a false prophecy about the 2020 election. A husband’s adulterous fling is arranged and publicly exposed by a media outlet. A financial secretary steals half a million dollars from her church. Christians are breaking commandments, leaving trauma, broken lives, and sorrow in their wake. How can this be?
It's a tale as old as time: people caring more about themselves than their neighbors, wayward hearts too busy or disinterested in knowing the Bible, and a desire for power instead of transformation.
As a child, Kerry Larson Luddy remembers being confused by the Bible having “old” and “ne...
