Christian Widow, Family Members Face Threats

A Christian widow and certain family members are facing expulsion from their village in northern Laos for their faith. Chan, 63, first welcomed the message of the gospel in February 2025, hoping to be healed from liver cancer. She and the four children and two grandchildren who live with her came to faith in Christ on the same day. Physical healing has not come, yet they love the Lord and have continued to grow stronger in their faith, attending worship services every week and listening to Christian radio programs. Though Chan is now in the final stage of liver cancer, the rest of her family and village have cursed and boycotted Chan’s household and are now threatening to expel them from the community. Pray that, as this family perseveres through illness and persecution, they will continue to grow in faith and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.
