Summary

SummaryI’m Helen Berhane, an Eritrean Christian who spent two and a half years locked inside a jagged metal shipping container for refusing to renounce my faith. Every cold night and burning day, every hunger pang and bug bite drew me closer to Jesus. When the guards beat me to crush the Word in my mind, I stopped and told them, β€œI carry God’s Word in my head, and I will not renounce Himβ€”carry on.” Even as my body trembled on the container floor, I thanked God for the sickness, the pain, the very breath He gave me. Through torture, I learned the power of true gratitudeβ€”thanking the Lord for every trial and blessing, because He alone is my strength and hope. πŸ™πŸ”₯✨

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
