Laos - Christian Teens Resist Family Persecution

Sep. 21, 2023


Ton and Tan
Ton, 18, and Tan, 16, are teenage sisters who became Christians and have been harassed repeatedly for this decision. Recently, their mother said that she will sell her daughters to any men who make an offer. Their older sister has also begun trying to bribe them into a life of prostitution with offers of phones and jewelry. The mother pressures the girls to prostitute themselves and regularly mocks their faith. She is requiring Ton and Tan to provide food for their family of six, sending them to work in the fields to keep them from being able to worship or serve in their church. Ton and Tan remain strong in their faith and their love for the Lord, but they are under immense pressure and are saddened that their mother sees them only as a source of income.

Pray that Ton and Tan will remain strong in their faith in Jesus.

Pray for their parents and older sister would also turn to Jesus.

Prayer points for Laos.

Pray for house church leaders who are singled out as targets of persecution to persevere with grace.

Pray for Lao seekers to toss aside the social pressure to practice Buddhism and place their hope in the one true God.

Pray for believers to unashamedly proclaim the Gospel to their neighbors despite close government monitoring.
