Christian Man Dies After Street Attack

[7] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Duyen and family.

Duyen, 33, and her husband, Hieu, were drawn to Christ both by the healing they received and the love and care they were shown by the body of Christ. They were mocked, threatened and even attacked several times because of their faith in Christ. Their land was taken on the grounds that land grants were only for those loyal to the government, but Christians were not loyal. After an appeal, their land was returned. Finally, when traveling with another man in 2022, Hieu was attacked by three men. His companion ran for help and provided first aid before carrying Hieu home. Duyen called the church to pray and got help taking Hieu to the hospital. He was treated and released but a few days later died in his sleep from internal bleeding. The local body of Christ has continued to uphold this family, but they are still grieving and struggling. Pray for Duyen and her children to find comfort and healing in Christ.
