Story number 3 for 21 Sep 2001

(Ethiopia)–Voice of the Martyrs reports that hostility against evangelical Christians in northern Ethiopia was evidenced yet again last week. A bomb was thrown into the building where people had gathered to worship. Several were injured in the explosion, but no one was killed. Church leaders say this incident shows the severity of persecution in the north. The Voice of the Martyrs has committed itself to assisting the Christians of Ethiopia through its Christmas Blessing project this year.
