Sons Abandon Christian Father

[71] prayers in [4] nations have been posted for Dong.

When Dong became a believer in Jesus Christ, his adult sons became angry that he followed what they saw as a foreign religion. They moved out of his house and took all his farmland and supplies for themselves, leaving him no way to grow food or earn income. Dong appealed to the village chief, who said he would only intervene with the sons if Dong agreed to give up his Christian faith. Dong would not renounce his faith in Christ. Rejection by family and community is a common form of persecution in Laos.
