In one province, the local authorities have recently increased pressure on local Christians, even encouraging civilians to target believers.

Please join us in praying for the following believers:
• Brother Duc; he and his family were forced to leave their house and village.
• Brother Ngoc; his house was destroyed because he had allowed it to be used as a gathering place for church services.
• Pastor Quy; his motorbike was damaged when he left it unattended while he was visiting church members.
• Brother Trai; his truck containing newly harvested produce was stopped. The produce was taken and destroyed.
• Sister My; her house was destroyed because she had allowed it to be used as a gathering place for church services.
• Sister Thu; the family’s social security benefits were stopped because they refused to deny their faith.
Thanks to our supporters, VOM has provided funds to help these families.

Please Pray
- Praise God for these believers who choose to stand firm and refuse to deny their faith.
- Ask the Lord to use their faithfulness as a strong witness for the gospel.
- Pray these believers will be renewed and strengthened. Pray too for our front-line workers as they care for and encourage persecuted believers.
God Almighty, who rules over all and to whom all power and majesty belong, we pray for the nation of Vietnam, its peoples and leaders and we praise you for believers who choose to stand firm and refuse to deny their faith. We ask you to use their faithfulness as a strong witness for the gospel.
We ask that Vietnamese believers will be renewed and strengthened. We ask that the Gospel of Jesus Christ might progress in this nation and that the Evil One and his ways would be thwarted. Help your children to be aware of his evil schemes and lead them not into temptation. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
We pray also for our front-line workers as they care for and encourage persecuted believers. May you bless their ministry with fruitful and productive outcomes for the growth of your Kingdom and to the glory of God.
We especially pray and name before you our brothers and sisters below. Give them grace and steadfast faith to remain true to you and their witness to the word of testimony and to Jesus.

Lord, have mercy. Please have mercy. All to your glory, Amen.
