VIETNAM  

WHAT CSW IS DOING FOR VIETNAM

- 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 Vietnam 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 the Vietnamese government would alter legislation to support the supposed religious freedoms named in its constitution, and the the vague language would be made specific in a way favorable to Christians and other minority faiths in Vietnam.

 - Ask God to help the Christians in Vietnam to find a way to fellowship and grow in spite of harassment and lack of facilities in some cases.
