Description: The Lao are a Daic people closely related to the Thai and the Isan. Their separate identity as an ethnic group can be traced back as far as the 14th century when the great conqueror Fa Ngum founded the first Laotian state.
Prayer Points:
• Pray for God's protection on those ministries seeking to hand-carry Christian literature and Bibles into Laos. Intercede for complete freedom to one day publish Christian material in the country.
• Christian radio broadcasts are having such a powerful effect, authorities are now arresting people who are caught listening. Pray that efforts to jam signals and locate listeners will be frustrated.
• Pray for the families of leaders who have been imprisoned or martyred. Ask God to pour out upon his Church incredible grace to love their enemies and bless those who persecute them.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may your love and grace surround the Lao people through salvation in Jesus Christ.
Every year 30,000 Lao die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
