Police throughout Vietnam are trying to frighten believers into closing their churches. Recently, as a scare tactic, police took away some Christians' vehicles, farm animals, and home-registration papers. But this doesn't stop church growth. Some believers will ride for up to 12 hours on motorcycles to share the Gospel with people who live in rural areas. In some areas, church services are held in the jungle.
Worship services end when the police make a surprise visit.
The police punish families who host the church services. In one instance the police slaughtered a family's water buffalo, their only means to plow their rice fields. Christians travel in secret at night to avoid police when delivering Bibles. These Bibles make a huge difference to the persecuted. Please pray for believers like To in Vietnam, that they'll continue to grow deeper in their faith and share the Good News.
