LAOS   

WHAT CSW IS DOING TO HELP LAOS

- CSW will continue to research and reveal claims of persecution so as to advocate on behalf of those who are suffering, in addition to networking with other organizations whose focus is on serving the Christians in this region. 

- Christians in Laos will continue to be mentioned in our prayer calendar. As we receive updates we will publish them on our website and/or in future issues of Outcry.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

You can PRAY

- Please pray that God would open the hearts and minds of Laotian government leaders, so that they might not consider Christianity the "number one enemy of the state."

- Pray that Christians in Laos would be safe from the threat of incarceration or death simply because of their faith

- Pray that Laos would begin to acknowledge the religious rights of its individuals and allow them to practice their faith peacefully and without fear of persecution
