Khampang came to Christ after witnessing God’s goodness and being healed. Only two others in his village were Christians, and both had experienced harsh reactions from their families.
One young man was disowned by his family, and a teenager was kicked out of his family home. As a result, both young men were forced to leave the village.
Community leaders were reluctant to punish Khampang, who is an elder, but they still worked against him, convincing Khampang’s wife that his decision was illegal. She refused to sleep in the same bed as him and gave him small portions of food or nothing at all.
When Khampang recently met with VOM partners, large tears rolled down his cheeks as he shared how his family had rejected him.

“Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.”
Psalms 126:5
I pray for the families that are angry with these 3 men, for their hearts to soften, and search for Jesus their messiah.
Lord I pray for comfort for Kamphang and you soften his family’s hearts as they see the change in his life and your goodness to him. I pray for their salvation. I also pray for protection and provision for the 2 young men who had to leave the village and to keep them strong in their faith amen.
God almighty, strengthen my brother Kamphang. Comfort him with your spirit. Help him to love his enemies, and bind his broken heart. Remind Kamphang of all he has been given in Jesus, the bread of life. In whose name I pray. Amen
O Lord teach us to pray…Father, we come as unfit servants before you, recognising your grace in prayer. Father, we come also confidently before you because of Jesus. Gracious Lord Jesus Christ, head and sustainer of your Church in all the world, you said, “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Lord Jesus, may your enabling and enduring grace be the experience of Khampang and our two other young brothers in this Lao village. Fill them with your Spirit to remain steadfast in the faith testifying to their first love. Give them wisdom and courage to share the faith, trust wholeheartedly in you, be pure of heart and singleminded in their devotion to you. Help them Lord Jesus, help them. We ask for your Holy Spirit to effectually call Khampang’s wife, the village families and the community leaders to know and love you and that they might be reconciled to our Christian brothers and all to your glory.
Thank you for hearing and answering us.
Thank you Lord for khampang’s and the other two young men’s trust in you. Lord yeshua may your perfom a miracle and allow them to be with their families.

Lord we thank you that you are indeed saving people in Laos, and we pray for many more to find their salvation in you.
