Rev. Yat Michael and Rev. Peter Yein Reith have been released.
The pastors, Rev. Yat Michael and Rev. Peter Yein Reith, were arrested by the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) in December 2014 and January 2015 respectively. Rev. Yat Michael preached in the Evangelical Church in Bahri after which he was arrested. Rev. Peter Yein Reith was arrested after he submitted a letter of concern from leaders of the South Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, inquiring about the whereabouts of the Rev. Yat. The brethren were brought to trial several times being charged with multiple spurious allegations.
Thank God they have been released.
However, we will continue to pray for the church in Sudan to remain strong and multiplying in the face of oppression and persecution.

Special request: Please pray for the Nigerian church. May case of the Nigerian church not be like that of the Laodecian church (Rev.3). They saw themselves as rich, wealthy and lacked nothing but in the eyes of God, they were wretched, pitiful, poor and naked.

Praise God for Asia Bibi - her death sentence has been suspended
Asia Bibi, a Christian mother who has been on death row for blasphemy since 2009, has got her sentence suspended. We have shared her story here in Evergreen Website. The Voice of Martyrs reports that on July 22nd a panel of judges suspended her death sentence.
The case against this long-suffering follower of Jesus will be thoroughly reviewed by the country's Supreme Court before a final ruling is made. In light of the recent hearing, a VOM worker in Pakistan wrote, "By the grace of God, this is a big achievement. This is an answer to the prayers of people around the world."
Please continue to pray that she may be acquitted completely soon because it is not yet over. Also, continue to remember other believers who are still in the prison in Pakistan for God's intervention.
