Semira’s dad was arrested in Eritrea for attending an illegal prayer meeting. He’s been imprisoned and has been given no release date. Despite these threats and intimidation, Semira hasn’t given up on Jesus. Her mom explains:“She was given three warnings from the school for sharing her faith and she was told not to talk to any children even during school breaks.One day some of her fellow students threw rocks at her and she got hit in the stomach. They regularly tell her that she doesn’t deserve to be their friend. Sometimes they also throw rocks a the house.My daughter is never scared of the persecution anymore. Even if they keep hurting her physically, she doesn’t care. She always says, ‘God won’t let me down. I am ready until death to follow Him.’”* representative photo used for security reasons -- source link
