Ethiopian evangelical Christians frequently face discrimination and harassment. Eden (15), Gifti and Mihiret (both 14), and Deborah (18) were distributing a Christian book in Ethiopia's main language entitled ‘Let's speak the truth in love - answers to questions’. The book answers questions posed about the Christian faith by a South African Islamic scholar who used to be head of the Islamic Propagation Centre International. Christians in a town east of Addis Ababa decided to distribute it following cross-cultural evangelism training. Local Muslims said the book was an insult to Islam. The four girls have made several court appearances and their case has been transferred to a higher court in Harar. Eden was beaten in prison but said, ‘This suffering is an honour for us. We should expect persecution. We are not afraid. We are singing and praying here in prison.’ Deborah said, ‘It is an honour to be jailed for God's Kingdom.’
