Ostracized Christians Patient But Weary

[5] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Christian families.

In a village in northern Laos, five Christian families have faced increasing persecution because they will not return to spirit worship. The village head confiscated their family registration books, which contain vital records including birth and marriage certificates, residence permits and education and professional records. This village head has refused to register births, issue marriage licenses and legally register a motorbike. Without registration books, some members have had difficulty getting medical care. The village head also decreed that Christians must be excluded from all village activities. Front-line workers encouraged these brothers and sisters to stay strong in God’s grace and to be patient for his provision. They said, “We are patient, but we are discouraged at times. We are treated very differently in the village. Please keep praying for us to solve this situation.”
