Ailing Mother Evicts Children for Following Christ

Laos

A brother and sister in Laos were recently expelled from their homes because of their faith in Christ, reports Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), Canada.

The 18-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter were blamed for their mother’s extreme illness. Village elders claimed that the spirits were displeased because the two Christians were in the house.

The duo’s older brother even tried to convince them to recant their faith in Christ so as to heal their mother. When the two believing siblings refused to do so, their ill mother accused them of hating their other brother. She threw their belongings out of the house and told them to leave.

The two siblings immediately moved to a Christian village where they originally heard the gospel, where they were welcomed with open arms, according to VOM.

Laos is comprised of only 1.9 percent evangelical believers, according to the Joshua Project. The Open Doors World Watch List places Laos as the 12th worst nation in its persecution of believers out of all nations worldwide. There is a long history of evictions and other persecution throughout Laos, especially in the last couple years.
