Christian Mother Kept from Church

[4] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Lomg.

A Christian woman’s husband has attempted to divorce her for her faith and has forcibly prevented her from attending church. Lomg, a 33-year-old mother of four children in Laos, has been under constant pressure from her husband since she began to follow Jesus Christ. In April 2025, he tried to initiate divorce, saying, “I hate her because she believes [in] God.” When the divorce was not granted, Lomg’s husband escalated his efforts to make her recant her faith by taking her and her children out to their remote fields and leaving them there to work and sleep. This isolation from other Christians has left Lomg feeling overwhelmed. She longs to return to church and has asked front-line workers to pray for their family.
