Children Orphaned After Father Martyred

[137] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for Tien.

In the summer of 2022, Tien received a call and was told her father had been seriously beaten. He had been evangelizing and then returned home with her younger brother, Thanh. Some men, including one of her uncles, came into the house and beat him in front of Thanh. By the time Tien got home, her father had already died. Thanh has been mute since that day. Tien’s mother, who had a heart condition, was so shocked that she never recovered, dying two months later. Thanh was taken to live with the uncle, who then also claimed the family’s house and motorbike. Tien, now 18, and her younger brothers (Mau, 11, and Dang, 9) live with their maternal grandparents. Remembering her father’s teaching, Tien prays for her uncle’s salvation and for the reunion of her family. VOM is supporting her in cosmetology school so that she can support her siblings.
