Church Threatened Over “Foreign” Faith

A church in Laos has been told by authorities to stop meeting, and an evangelist has been threatened. When Kane, 28, moved to his wife’s village in a minority area of Laos, he was the only Christian. But he shared his faith with his wife, Mae, and her parents, who came to faith in Christ. They, in turn, became bold witnesses throughout their community. By the end of 2023, 25 Christians gathered for worship each week. The village head tried to stop them, calling Christianity a religion belonging to foreigners, but the church continued to meet. Then, in 2024, the village head and others from the village threw stones at the building and angrily burst in to stop the worship service. Police officers said the Christian faith was not allowed by the Laotian government, church members had to recant, and Kane had to stop evangelizing. The Christians stood firm and have continued to meet, but the authorities have also continued to threaten them.
