VIETNAM: New Believer's Home Burned by Relatives

Date of Bulletin: 12 February 2014

Vietnam

Youa Thao lives with his wife and three children in Va Who village, Dien Bien Province. When he became a  Christian, his relatives began to harass him. But Youa refused to give up his Christian faith.

On Dec. 9, 2013, Youa Thao's relatives burned his house and everything inside. They then kicked Youa Thao and his family out of the village. Local officials refused to take action because he is a Christian.

Youa Thao and his wife don’t know how they will survive without their home and belongings. They are currently living with a Christian family in a nearby village.
