Summary
βI was packed into a suffocating metal container in Eritrea, with rats and maggots at our feet π. As extreme heat and cold wore us down, I cried out to God for strengthβHe reminded me of Joshuaβs praise at Jericho, and Paul and Silas singing in prison πΆ. So I lifted a hymn in Tigrinya, and the guards beat me harderβbut my fear vanished as I clung to Romans 1:16 π. Through that miracle of worship, I began writing letters to fellow prisoners and caring for the elderly beside me. Even after my release, as I hobbled on crutches, God called me to advocate for justice at the UN, White House, and beyond β¨. Today, my song is a weapon of hope for the persecuted church around the world π₯.β

Helen Berhane was locked inside a metal shipping container in Eritrea for yearsβtortured, starved, and suffocated simply for sharing the gospel. When she was told to stop singing about Jesus, she sang louder. When beaten for encouraging others with scripture, she kept preaching. Refusing to sign a paper denying Christ, Helen chose suffering over freedom. In this unforgettable testimony, she reveals how worship became her weapon, and how God’s Word never left herβeven in total darkness. Her story challenges us all to hold fast in adversity and stand for justice.
