July – September 2022
Christian friends Vee and Sun are passionate about sharing the gospel in Laos, despite it costing them everything
JULY 2022 Heavenly Father, Your eyes scan the earth to seek out Your children: You strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to You (2 Chronicles 16:9). None is hidden from You. Lord, please be with my persecuted brothers and sisters today. May each one know that Your hand is on their life; that You are their defender. Remind them, Father, that whatever they are suffering today for Your name’s sake, You see them and You will deliver justice. In Jesus’ name, Amen
LAOS
FRIDAY 1: Christians in Laos are often severely persecuted by relatives when they turn to Christ. Pray that God will grant believers a steadfast spirit that will cause their persecutors to seek Christ too.
SATURDAY 2: Pray for Christians Vee and Sun (pictured) in Luang Prabang province, who have become housemates since they were rejected by their families and evicted from their village. They have little, but passionately share the gospel. SUNDAY 3: Pray for new believers Phan and Yun. They were evicted from Phan’s parents’ home when the couple turned to Christ. Local Christians are supporting them.
MONDAY 4: Bounsaen is 101 years old and is still heavily involved in leading a 500-strong church for Khmu ethnic minority believers. Join him in praying that the young people of Laos will experience the love of Christ.
TUESDAY 5: Many Lao Christians are a tiny minority in their villages. Pray that God will equip them to share their faith, even in the face of hostility. And pray that the Lord will add to the number of believers in Laos daily.
