Eritrean pastor reaches his people near Washington, D.C.

Eritrean pastor reaches his people near Washington, D.C.

“It’s never been better,” said Daniel Tesfasselase, pastor of Emmanuel Eritrean Baptist Church, Arlington, Virginia.

The church planter moved to the Washington area several years ago due to religious persecution in his home country of Eritrea in northeast Africa.

Many Eritrean refugees have now resettled in Virginia.

The pastor believes he is able to reach and baptize more of his own people in the states than he could in Eritrea, the Proclaimer reported.
