Widow Cast Out with No Provisions

[207] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Toon.

The body of Christ is caring for a widow whose family rejected her for her faith in Christ. Toon Simom, 73, is a widow from a Laotian minority group and has followed Christ for five years. She had lived with her only daughter, Thon, since Toon’s husband died in 2006. Thon is opposed to her mother’s Christian faith and has verbally abused Toon, threatened to poison her and cut up all of Toon’s clothing to drive her out of the house. On April 22, 2026, Toon moved to a garden hut belonging to a nearby pastor, who reports that she has little food and no electricity. The global body of Christ is helping meet Toon’s immediate needs, and front-line workers request prayer for Toon as she perseveres in this situation.
