A young Christian woman who was disowned by her parents because of her faith is visiting churches in Laos this month to train Sunday school teachers. After “Sonxi” became a Christian at age 14, her parents began to beat her, deny her food and lock her in her room to prevent her from attending church. When they saw that none of these punishments weakened her faith, they threatened to force her into a life of prostitution. Sonxi ran away from home and eventually was disowned by her parents. VOM helped her attend a sewing class so she could support herself and later helped her attend a Bible school. Please pray for Sonxi as she shares her faith and trains new Christian teachers.
