Leaders Command 100 Christians to Leave Village

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

When Somanid came to faith in Christ in 2000 at age 17, he immediately faced persecution. He decided to move to a new province, where he built a home, started a family in his new village and became part of a fellowship of more than 100 Christians. Recently, village leaders demanded that all families, including Christians, must donate money for the traditional spirit ceremonies, but the Christians all refused. On May 15, 2024, the leaders announced over loudspeakers that all Christians were required to leave the village, on the grounds that they were disobedient to village authorities. Somanid and the other Christians of the village are continuing to put their trust in God as this threat looms, but they request prayer amid this persecution.

  • Lord, I thank you for bringing Somanid to know you. I now pray that your presence may be with your people in Laos. I ask that you may watch over them as they continue to abide in you. I pray that for those who have lost hope and joy, bring them yours. For those who feel overwhelmed by the stretch of darkness, bring them light.

    In Jesus' name, Amen.
