Summary

SummaryI’m Yael, an Eritrean believer whose faith was tested when my husband was arrested at eight months pregnant. πŸ‘ΆπŸ”’ For one year and nine months, I carried our baby under the weight of uncertainty, family pressure, and isolation. Yet God’s grace was abundant, and the prayers of brothers and sisters sustained me. πŸ™β€οΈ Despite intrusive searches and threats from national security, I felt God’s power move mountains in my heart. Now, whenever I look back, I see that His strength carried me through every fearful step. 🌟


Twenty years ago, the Eritrean government brought in restrictions that allowed only Orthodox, Catholic and Lutheran churches. When Yael* was 8 months pregnant, her husband was imprisoned for belonging to another Christian denomination. But even during that time of trial, Yael knows that she was sustained by God and by the prayers of His people.
