UNDERGROUND. UNDER PRESSURE.
Support the church where faith is forbidden
Intense pressure has forced the church underground in Laos.
Converting to Christianity is seen as betrayal and a threat to traditional beliefs.
Christian families are forced from their villages by persecution.
Believers like Kanya* and Phonesay* depend on your support.
Kanya and Phonesay’s home was destroyed by a violent mob. The community turned against them because of their faith. They were expelled from their village. Now they live in a forest, with no electricity, no toilets and little food.
Despite everything, this courageous couple continue to serve God. They built a place of worship in the forest where they gather with other believers. (Read their story)
A gift of HKD330 could train secret believers to persist through persecution and support others.
In Laos, especially in rural areas, believing in something different from the community can seem like turning your back on your heritage and your community.
Step into the lives of persecuted believers and walk with Christians like Kanya and Phonesay.
God can use us to strengthen churches to persevere in their faith under increasing pressure.
With your urgent help, the church can survive – and even grow.
Every HKD $220 could give practical, medical, and pastoral support to a secret believer.
Every HKD $330 could train secret believers to persist through persecution and support others.
Every HKD $520 could build future churches through a youth leadership programme.
Thank you.
