Story number 3 for 22 Sep 2000

Voice of the Martyrs reports the arrest of three Ethiopian evangelists by Somaliland authorities. According to sources within Ethiopia, the group was taken into custody on proselytizing charges. The same three have been previously expelled by Somaliland authorities because of their evangelistic work, but they returned, believing that God has called them to minister in this Islamic region. VOM says there is only one church in the capital city of Somaliland, with only 9 Somali believers in attendance. Please pray for these the Christians in the area.
