The Voice of the Martyrs - Ethiopia

The Voice of the Martyrs Canada:

An evangelist named Aman was returning from a church service in Meki, 134 km south of Addis Ababa, on January 1 when a group of Muslims surrounded him. According to VOMC sources in Ethiopia, one member of the group began hitting Aman with a large stick and continued to pound on his body until people passing by intervened. Aman was taken to a hospital in Shashemene, where he remained unconscious for two days. At last report, Aman was still in intensive care.

Pray Aman's mind and body will be fully restored so that he can continue to share Christ with his friends and neighbors. Pray that the attackers will recognize their guilt and turn to Christ for forgiveness. Ask God to comfort Aman and those who are close to him.
