Family Loses Benefits, Income for Not Recanting

[61] prayers in [7] nations have been posted for Gia and Dai.

Gia and her husband, Dai, have been believers for 15 years. Because they chose biblical names for their children, getting birth certificates for them was difficult. Their daughter, Ruth, was diagnosed with a condition that has affected her neurological and physical development. There is a fund intended for children with Ruth’s condition, and the family was called to a government office to receive these funds. After waiting there all day, however, they were presented with an ultimatum: Change Ruth’s name and renounce their faith or leave without the funding. They refused the money. Additionally, when they later harvested their crops, a neighbor who has opposed them for their faith in Christ blocked them from bringing a vehicle close enough to gather their harvest and take it to a processing plant, so the whole crop, their primary income for the year, rotted in the field.
