Podcast appearances and mentions of helen berhane

Over the last decade, God has allowed VOM Radio the opportunity to bring you into fellowship with persecuted Christians and tell the stories of what God is doing around the world even amid suffering and persecution. This week we'll look back on some of the most moving moments of the first decade of VOM Radio. It was September of 2014 when The Voice of the Martyrs began releasing new VOM Radio episodes weekly. The first episode introduced listeners to members of our persecuted family in China. Gina, a gospel worker with YWAM Frontier Missions and Julian, serving with Operation Mobilization, told in 2015 how God was drawing Muslims to himself – even ISIS fighters were coming to faith in Christ! By watching the JESUS Film in his Turkmen heart language, Silas's life was forever changed. Several guests over the years have told of being imprisoned for Christ just as the founders of The Voice of the Martyrs, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, were imprisoned for their faith. Helen Berhane, who spent many months locked in a shipping container in Eritrea, reminds us that everything—including following Jesus—will cost us. Listen to how David Byle and Petr Jasek, both imprisoned for Christ, saw God's purpose for them in prison as they shared the gospel, and how Dan Baumann was reminded that God could still change people's hearts, even in prison in Iran. You'll hear these stories of heroic faith and also stories of faith overcoming fear, like Maria praying God would remove her fear after Cuban authorities issued an arrest warrant for her husband. God has inspired thousands with the testimonies of martyrs' widows who publicly forgave their husband's killers, like Anita Smith and Pauline Ayyad. Hannelie Groenewald shares how she learned that her husband and teen-aged children had been killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Also Gary Witherall remembers how God ministered to him after his wife, Bonnie, was killed for her faith in Lebanon. More than seven years after his abduction, Susanna Koh still doesn't know what happened to her husband, Pastor Raymond Koh. After a season of great loss, Nik and Ruth Ripken chose to sit at the feet of persecuted Christians to learn from them about following Christ in difficulty and suffering. THANK YOU for listening to the stories of our persecuted family over the last ten years! We pray that VOM Radio will continue to build a bridge of fellowship between fellow members of the Body of Christ whether they live in free nations, hostile areas or restricted nations.

Portes Ouvertes : Helen Berhane, Reconnaissante en tout temps by Radio Réveil

It's Monday, September 19th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldeview.com) By Adam McManus Imprisoned African worship leader sings like Paul and Silas Helen Berhane was a well-known worship leader and gospel singer in the churches of Eritrea, Africa when the government outlawed evangelical churches, reports Voice of the Martyrs. In one week, these churches went from meeting openly in large public services to being forced underground, meeting in homes and hiding from police. In the midst of that crackdown, Helen was arrested, beaten and put in prison. BERHANE: “So, I decide to stand by faith. Doesn't matter what the cost because everything costs the price. When you buy bread, cost you price. When you buy car, cost you price. Also, when you follow Jesus, cost you price. Everything cost price. So, I just stand by faith. Doesn't matter whether she pulled my hair or beat me.” As she was imprisoned for months in a dark, metal shipping container, Helen Berhane drew inspiration from Paul and Silas's reaction to their imprisonment. BERHANE: “In Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas, when they put them in prison, they start singing. So, they are good model for us. We can learn from them. So, when I was in prison, just worshiping, it, kind of, give you strength. Also, when you sing, it's heavy stone in the head of Satan.” Acts 16:25 says. “About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” You can listen to the entire 25-minute Voice of the Martyrs Radio interview of Helen through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Home sale prices drop BELOW ask If you're looking to buy a home soon, listen up. After two years of record high sales, data shows the housing market is starting to cool down, but there is a catch, reports Fox.  For the first time since March 2021, the average home is selling for less than its list price, but high mortgage rates are still impacting what people can afford.  DeSantis sends 50 illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis demanded President Joe Biden “do his job and secure the border,” after sending dozens of illegal immigrants on two flights to Martha's Vineyard, a Massachusetts island popular among wealthy liberals, reports The Epoch Times. DeSANTIS: “We take what's happening at the southern border very seriously, unlike the President of the United States who has refused to lift a finger to secure that border.  You've had millions and millions of people pouring across illegally.  We've worked on innovative ways to be able to protect the state of Florida from the impact of Biden's border policies. “Our message to them is we are not a sanctuary state, and it's better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction. We will help facilitate that transport for you to be able to go to greener pastures.” (cheers, applause) About 50 illegal immigrants from Venezuela arrived on two planes to Martha's Vineyard last Wednesday afternoon. DeSANTIS: “All those people in D.C. and New York were beating their chests when Trump was president, saying they were so proud to be sanctuary jurisdictions, saying how bad it was to have a secure border. The minute even a small fraction of what those border towns deal with every day is brought to their front door, they, all of a sudden, go berserk!” The arrival of the illegal immigrants has sparked an outcry from some government officials in the Martha's Vineyard area. Democrat Congressman Bill Keating of Massachusetts, who represents the 9th Congressional District which encompasses the Vineyard, took to Twitter to accuse DeSantis of turning “human beings into political pawns.” DeSANTIS: “They're so upset that this is happening. It just shows you their virtue signaling is a fraud. (applause) They are supporting policies that are just frankly indefensible. It is not defensible for a superpower to not have any control over the borders of its country.” Last Thursday, at the 45th Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, President Biden responded. BIDEN: “We're committed to fixing the immigration system. Instead of working with us on solutions, Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props. What they're doing is simply wrong. It's unAmerican, it's reckless. “We have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. We're working to make sure it's safe and orderly and humane. Republican officials should not interfere with that process by waging these political stunts.” DeSantis made clear on why he shipped the illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. DeSANTIS: “One of the reasons why we want to transport because it's expensive. If people are coming here, it taxes social services. Every community in America should be sharing the burden. It shouldn't all fall on a handful of red states.” By the way, on Friday, the wealthy elite of Martha's Vineyard relocated those 50 illegal aliens to a military base in Cape Cod, ending the affluent vacation spot's two-day “humanitarian crisis.” Doctor abused patient who refused Remdesivir And finally, an investigation launched into the chief medical officer of the Mayo Clinic of Arizona has been dropped unfortunately by the Arizona Medical Board following an accusation of malpractice over an elderly COVID patient's refusal of the dangerous antiviral drug Remdesivir, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Dr. Alyssa Chapital has been accused of abusing an elderly patient for his refusal to take the controversial drug Remdesivir after being admitted to the hospital with complications involving COVID-19. Chapital stands charged with medical negligence by denying therapeutics, hydration, food, and locking the elderly man in isolation for over three weeks -- all actions the hospital director allegedly took in response to the patient's refusal to consent to receiving Remdesivir, a drug which, according to America's Frontline Doctors, has been known to cause kidney failure and even death. Data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services database released last year showed that almost 26 percent of patients prescribed Remdesivir to treat coronavirus had died. Dr. Chapital violated the golden rule found in Mark 12:31: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, September 19th, in the year of our Lord 2022. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Helen Berhane, worship leader and former prisoner in Eritrea, joined us last week to share the first part of her story: how she was persecuted for her faith and yet encouraged all believers to count the cost of following Christ. Helen is back this week for the second half of that conversation. Thankfully, she had access to the Bible while imprisoned, and the Lord revealed new wisdom and understanding of Him to her as she read from Genesis to Revelations 15 times! Her knowledge of Jesus increased, and the Holy Spirit gave her overwhelming love and forgiveness towards the ones persecuting her. Supernaturally, she knew when people were praying for her while she was in prison. Many letters were sent, from around the world, to encourage her in prison, and even though she was never able to read the letters, she knows they made a difference.

Copies of Helen's book, Song of the Nightingale, have been smuggled into Eritrea, and her story has encouraged many people toward faith in Christ. Continue to pray for believers currently in prison in Eritrea—an estimated 250 to 300 Christians as of June 2022, including five currently listed on PrisonerAlert.com.

Helen Berhane was tortured then imprisoned in a metal shipping container in the African nation of Eritrea. But in spite of terrible persecution, she kept singing praises to God! In 2002, the Eritrean government banned evangelical churches from holding public worship services – forcing Christians to meet illegally, in secret. Helen and other believers did not stop meeting, and it wasn't long until she and many other persecuted Christians were imprisoned. Helen had intentionally prepared herself; she was ready to stand firm in her faith for Christ even in the face of the persecution she knew was coming. Everything, she says, has a price, including following Jesus. Listen as Helen shares how she prepared for her trials and the Bible verses that encouraged her even as she was held in the harshest of prison conditions. God's presence continued to strengthen her to deny herself, stay disciplined and even gain a better understanding of Jesus' suffering. Helen would cry – not because of the situation, but because of her experience of the unconditional love of God. And through it all, Helen chose joy and kept on singing. Instead of worshipping in the front of the church or in the spotlight, she worshipped simply in the presence of God.

The Bible promises Christians will be persecuted (John 15:18-20; II Timothy 3:12), yet most Christians in the United States and other Western nations have not experienced persecution for their faith. But what if that's changing? How should Christians in free nations prepare for possible future persecution? VOM Radio host, Todd Nettleton, shares specific lessons from Christians who have already faced persecution and victoriously endured. Todd will also share how followers of Christ in free nations can put these lessons into practice in our own spiritual walk, starting right now. Listen also for the blessings found in the midst of suffering for Christ and ways God uses persecution to grow and strengthen His church. In sharing these stories, Todd refers to several previous VOM Radio guests, including Helen Berhane from Eritrea, Nik and Ruth Ripken, Dan Baumann, David Byle and Pastor Hassan from Sudan. For more stories and lessons from persecuted Christians, read Todd's book, When Faith is Forbidden: 40 Days on the Frontlines With Persecuted Christians. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio!

Worshipping God is something most of us reserve for a Sunday service. But for Helen Berhane, it ended up costing her freedom. Join Dan, Emma and Chris as they listen to her incredible story of surviving imprisonment for her faith. The post Ep 35 – Persecuted for my faith with Helen Berhane appeared first on We Are Tearfund.

"Helen Berhane, serve a Jesus desde a sua infância. Nasceu em 1974, na cidade de Asmara, Eritréia, um país da África que faz fronteira com a Etiópia e o Sudão."

This episode is inspired by the story of Helen Berhane and Mike Gore. During a time when Helen was imprisoned and tortured she never renounced her faith in Jesus. Listen to this incredible story of thankfulness and faith.

Are there blessings found in being in prison for Christ? Yonas Haile was a Christian worship leader and filmmaker in the African nation of Eritrea. When his gospel film was released, the Eritrean government was furious; from that day, Yonas was targeted. He says Eritrean Christians are “ready always” to face persecution. Listen as he tells of the joy that God blessed him with, even in the midst of horrible suffering and prison. Yonas also experienced God’s miraculous power, including walking out of an Eritrean prison just as Peter walked out of prison in the book of Acts. He’ll also share about opportunities to be a witness for Christ and offer hope through the gospel of Christ—even in prison. Finally, Yonas will update on whether changes have happened in Eritrea since the country signed a peace agreement with Ethiopia. And he’ll give specific ways we can pray for that nation, and for our spiritual family members there—especially those in prison for Christ. Helen Berhane, another Eritrean worship leader, helped Yonas make his gospel film. You can hear her interview with VOM Radio here.

Join us as we look back on some of the amazing testimonies God has allowed VOM Radio to share this year. Helen Berhane explained the power of worshipping the Lord while locked in a shipping container in Eritrea. Gary Witherall talked about God’s help to choose forgiveness, and even love, just minutes after Gary’s wife, Bonnie, was martyred in Lebanon. Brad Phillips shared the story of Morris, a church leader in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, who forgave the man who attacked his daughter—and even paid the fine to get the young man out of prison. Dan Baumann told what happened when God challenged him to love the man beating him inside a prison in Iran—and the breakthrough that happened when Dan did indeed show love. Finally we’ll hear some of the ways these guests have encouraged us to pray for persecuted Christians this year. If you’re blessed by these snippets from conversations on VOM Radio this year, you’ll want to go back and listen to the entire conversation with each of these guests: Helen Berhane: Part 1 and Part 2 Gary Witherall: Part 1 and Part 2. You can also order a copy of Gary’s book, Total Abandon (affiliate link). Brad Phillips: here. Dan Baumann: Part 1 and Part 2. You can also order a copy of Dan’s book, Cell 58 (affiliate link).

Helen was locked inside a ship container. For two and a half years. Because she was a christian.

Helen Berhane has the type of voice that you may think could only have come from God. There was a long time though when the only people who could hear her were her captors and the fellow inmates of the shipping container that was her gaol. In fact it was her singing that led to her being imprisoned, beaten and abused in her native Eritrea, after she refused to put a stop to her evangelising. In this first episode of Faith In Freedom, Helen tells John McCarthy about those two years of imprisonment and how she refused to denounce her faith.

I juli var Helen Berhane Åpne Dørers sommergjest. Hun kommer opprinnelig fra Eritrea, og er en av de mange som har sittet i fengsel for sin kristne tro. Hun tilbrakte over 2 år i en skipscontainer, sperret inne fordi hun ikke kunne la være å synge og fortelle andre om Jesus. Men selv i fangenskap lot Helen sin stemme lyde - til oppmuntring og frelse for sine medfanger og voktere! I dette programmet deler Olaug Lillian Bjørke fra sitt møte med Helen; du får bli kjent med hennes historie og høre hennes mektige vitnesbyrd. Helen har en oppfordring til kristne i dag: "Ikke ta friheten din for gitt! Viss jeg kunne synge i fengsel, tenk på hva du kan gjøre for å ære Gud med friheten din!" Du får høre Helen sin vakre sang, og i slutten av programmet er det Jan Honningdal som synger "Gjør mitt liv til en lovsang".  

For years, Helen Berhane read Scriptures about forgiving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us. But during long months as a prisoner in Eritrea—including long stretches locked in a metal shipping container—Helen got to see those Scriptures come to life in her own spirit and actions. In this second half of our conversation, she shares how she found that in the fires of intense persecution she was able to forgive and even love her persecutors. She’ll also share what it meant to know that other Christians around the world were praying for her and writing letters on her behalf, and how God’s Word powerfully impacted her as she read it while in prison. After hearing how much Christians writing letters made a difference for Helen, you’ll want to write letters to Christians currently in prison in Eritrea. Finally, Helen will encourage us with ways we can pray for Eritrea—both for our brothers and sisters in prison there and for government leaders in the country who are persecuting our Christian family. If you missed Part 1 of our conversation with Helen, you can listen to it here.

Helen Berhane was a well-known worship leader and gospel singer in the churches of Eritrea when the government outlawed evangelical churches. In one week these churches went from meeting openly in large public services to being underground, meeting in homes and hiding from police. In the midst of that crackdown, Helen was arrested, beaten and put in prison. Listen as Helen shares how she prepared her heart, ahead of time, for the days when she would face persecution. She’ll talk about the Scriptures she drew strength from, and how she was able to keep singing praise to God, even as her suffering increased. Listen to how she experienced God’s amazing presence, even locked inside a metal shipping container for many months. Listen also to Part 2 of our conversation with Helen.

Helen Berhane was held captive for over two years in appalling conditions in her native Eritrea, including months locked up in a shipping container. Her crime? Sharing her faith in Jesus, and refusing, even though horrendously tortured, to deny him. This Interview is a sobering, painful, heart-rending account of true faith in the face of evil. Helen says, "I want to give a message to those of you who are Christians and live in the free world: You must not take your freedom for granted... If I could sing in prison, imagine what you can do for God's glory with your freedom." A real challenge for the Church in the West.
