After Recent USCIRF Report Open Doors Proclaims the Persecution of 192,000 Laotian Christians Seeking the Gospel for Asia Must Cease and Sets Goal for 10k in Donations
Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) May 04, 2016 -- After this week's release of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom on May 2, 2016 placing Laos on the Tier 2 "Watch List," Open Doors is renewing their call this month for support in their international efforts in Laos to bring the Gospel for Asia. Open Doors is setting a goal of $10,000 in donations for May that will go toward Bible development, community restoration and women and children's care in Laos and other similarly persecuted regions around the world. Laos is one of several of countries that continues to remain under the often strict rule of a Lenin-Marxist communist command. The Laotian government strictly watches over and discourages contact or influence from Westerners and global Non-Governmental Organizations.
The country of Laos has 7.1 million citizens, of which 192,000 Laotians are Christian despite the risk of persecution by the communist government. The Laotian Christians are regularly targeted by local authorities, including arbitrary jailing and isolation.
Through direct donations of items and talents, the mission of Open Doors is focused and hard at work; learn more about their work and mission in Laos and other countries by visiting the Open Doors website.
