A man who was imprisoned for converting to Christianity has now been evicted from his village in Laos for refusing to renounce his faith. Earlier this year, Bounyang and his family came to faith in Christ after experiencing a healing in their family following prayer by local Christians. When authorities questioned Bounyang about his Christian faith, he told them, “I insist on following Jesus and will not go back to worshiping the old traditional way.” Bounyang was arrested on Sept. 12 and detained for several weeks. Authorities then released Bounyang on the condition that he leave the village after harvest season. Bounyang’s brother has given him land in another village, but he will have to build a new home. Please pray for Bounyang and his family.
