Pray for Christians Imprisoned and Harassed by Local Authorities

[250] prayers in [17] nations have been posted for Imprisoned and Harassed Christians.

Local authorities in a Laotian village have imprisoned four Christian men and harassed numerous other Christian families in recent weeks. Police arrested the first believer, “Sanyahak,” in early October after he had led nearly 40 people to Christ. Since then, many families have been pressured to renounce their faith, and three other men have been arrested. Pray that the four imprisoned believers will remain firm in their faith and that other Christian villagers will take care of their families. Also pray for the many families who are struggling with the persecution, including two families that have renounced their faith. Pray, too, that authorities and other villagers will hear the gospel and see it lived out in the faith of these believers.
