Believers are going out to the villages to disciple others and reach people who havent yet heard the gospel. The obstacle in the work of the Lord in my area has been persecution coming from the authorities, reported one missionary. But it seems that the more intense the persecution, the more people become Christians. In some areas where churches were planted, prayers for the sick resulted in healing. At least two residents were delivered from demonic spirits after they came to Christ, angering authorities. When the police heard about their salvation, they summoned the new Christians, interrogated them, confiscated their Bibles and warned them to discontinue their worship.Laotian Christians are asking God for boldness and power as they continue to proclaim salvation in Jesus Christ in the midst of persecution and pressure from authorities.From the news flow of Intercessors Network
