Summary

SummaryI’m Dok, and in my village in Laos, I built a place of worship out of timber and bambooβ€”even after my applications were ignored and my church was boarded up by the authorities. They call us spies, but our faith remains unbroken. I now gather believers in my home, trusting that every whispered prayer fuels revival. And I’m Sel, who struggled through endless rejections by the Ministry of Home Affairs yet watched our secret gatherings grow. Through every obstacle, prayer became our lifeline. Together, we lift our voicesβ€”day and nightβ€”for true freedom to worship and see the next generation rise in faith. πŸ™πŸ‘πŸ”₯

Officially, Laos has freedom of religion, and the citizens are often reminded of that by the authorities. But for the Christian minority, the reality can be very different.

Hear Dok and Sel tell their experiences of being a Christian in Laos.

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
