Persecution against Christians continues in the African nation of Eritrea to the point, says Voice of the Martyrs, that public gatherings of evangelicals are no longer allowed.

According to Compass Direct News Service, a pastor who disappeared last month in Eritrea has not been found. It is the latest in a string of incidents involving persecution against Christians. Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs says that in 2002 the government of Eritrea told evangelical leaders that they were, in effect, closing them down.
