13 Christians were freed from Eritrean prisons after Christian organization Voice of the Martyrs launched a prayer and awareness campaign bringing attention to the plight of those wrongfully prisoned in Eritrea. Two pastors have been in prison for 7,000 days but were not among those freed. VOM’s Todd Nettleton joins CBN to discuss the very latest surrounding this situation, including praising God for those released and ongoing prayer concerns for those who remain behind bars.
“All 13 of them, at least 10 years in prison, for them to be released is an amazing blessing,” Nettleton said, noting the timing was curious considering his organization had launched a massive campaign just six days earlier for the release of two pastors who have spent over 7,000 days in prison. “They were arrested more than 19 years ago,” he said. “They’ve been in prison all that time. We asked people to pray for them and for other Christians imprisoned in Eritrea.”
The Voice of the Martyrs also asked for people to contact the Eritrean embassy. While the two preachers — Pastor Haile Nayzgi and Dr. Kiflu Gebremeskel — were not along the 13 released, just days later leaders did make a decision to let some Christians out from behind bars. “It’s hard not to see those two things as connected,” Nettleton said.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
Voice of the Martyrs needs monetary donations. I donate. It’s a great cause.
