Laos Family Cut Off, Threatened by Brother-in-Law

Pin with her two youngest children

A Christian woman’s brother-in-law is persecuting her and her family because of her faith in Christ. Feeling that she was attacked by the “ghost spirits” worshiped by her tribal group in Laos, Pin sought protection and healing in Jesus Christ in 2022. Through a local pastor, she and her husband continued growing in their faith. When Pin’s brother-in-law, who is a policeman, became aware that they were Christians, he became furious and threatened them. In April 2025, he cut off access to electricity and water in their home and began a campaign to get his brother to divorce Pin and leave her and their three children. Now Pin’s husband has stopped attending church and has tried to stop her from going as well. Pin reports that her brother-in-law has sent people to follow her and monitor her activities.

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will encourage, comfort and strengthen Pin as she faces this severe opposition for her faith.

• Pray that her husband will repent, start walking with the Lord again, and become Pin’s protector and help her raise their children in the faith.

• Pray that Pin’s husband will return to church with her, and that they will both continue in the faith.

• Pray that Pin’s brother-in-law will have a change of heart and stop harassing his brother and his family.
