LAOS: Village Denies Funeral Customs to Christian Family



In April 2024, Lod, a Khmu villager, placed his faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 90. On 20 June, he passed away. Typically, every villager would make a small donation of money and rice to the grieving family. However, because Lod was a Christian, the head of the village refused to collect donations to assist Lod’s family and did not allow any villagers to attend Lod’s funeral. Only the 10 Christian families in the community supported Lod’s family. They invited a Christian leader from another town to conduct the funeral service, but village leaders refused to allow any Christians to enter the village until the Christians sought assistance from provincial authorities.


  • Pray for Lod to remain strong despite the persecution and difficulties he faces in his village.

  • Pray for the other Christian families to stick together and continue to share the Gospel.

  • Pray for the village leader to accept Christ as His Saviour.
