On Sept. 21, an Ethiopian court dismissed an appeal made by two Christians accused of using gifts and money to entice people to convert to Christianity, according to Compass Direct News. In July, Temesgen Alemayehu and Tigist Welde Amanuel went to Amhara state in July to plant a church. After a week, several people became believers through their witness.

On July 19, locals began to question Alemayehu and Amanuel, and later attacked them. Amanuel was able to flee to a home nearby, where she was kept safe until police arrived. When officers arrived on scene, they were able to rescue Alemayehu, who was wounded. Alamayehu and Amanuel were arrested because the assailants accused them of insulting their religion. On July 23, they were sentenced to six months in jail. Pray that these believers will exemplify the love of God through consistent love and prayer for those who persecute them. Pray for their safety and release from prison.
