Praise Report on Eritrean Christian

An Eritrean Christian evangelist living in the Middle East has successfully received his residency permit. In January 2025, VOM posted a request to iCommitToPray.com for Ishaq. His residency permit had expired, and he faced potential deportation to Eritrea, where Christians are regularly tortured and imprisoned, some for more than two decades without charge or trial. Readers of the post wrote 150 prayers for Ishaq, and he shared that he is grateful. In the fall of 2025, he was arrested during a traffic stop and taken to jail. On the way, he sent a text asking Christians to immediately start praying for him. “And he happened, by the providence of God, to know the manager of that police station,” said a front-line worker, who added that if he had been taken to any other police station, no one could have helped him. Ishaq was released from jail and received his residency permit shortly afterwards.
