Barnabas Aid project partners were on hand to provide food, temporary accommodation and other urgent supplies to around 30 Christian converts evicted from their homes in north-west Laos.
The 30 believers are from four families, who were forced to leave their home village in Luang Namtha Province after coming to faith in Christ.
Our partners were able to respond to the converts’ immediate needs thanks to an emergency fund financed through your generous giving.

“They really wanted to thank you all for how fast this emergency aid arrived,” said Barnabas Aid’s partner in the region.
A “Law on the Evangelical Church”, in force since December 2019, gives Christians the right to conduct services, preach throughout Laos and maintain contacts with believers in other countries.
This law, however, is often disregarded in rural areas, where evictions of Christian converts and intimidation of church leaders are a regular occurrence.
In May 2025 another four Christian families were evicted from their village, also in north-western Laos, and their homes were destroyed.
How you can pray
Praise God for His provision towards our brothers and sisters in their time of urgent need. Pray that He will enable them to grow in their faith and in their knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask for His continued presence with all Christians suffering marginalisation and persecution in rural Laos.
