Persecuted By Those You Love Most

Imagine for a moment that you’re the only Christian in your family. Now picture this. The people you love most persecute you because of your faith. Your family rejects you because you believe in Jesus! That’s reality for many Christians around the world.

Last year Christians in Thailand resourced by Bible League International share God’s Word with displaced minority ethnic people in refugee camps along the border of Thailand and Myanmar, among others. Nung was part of a small group of evangelists planting God’s Word in these refugees’ hearts and lives.

But it wasn’t easy. You see, Nung and some other team members are persecuted by their own family members.

“Some of us are the only ones in our families who are Christians,” Nung explains. “Our families don’t like what we are doing. They want us to follow their animistic practices and not serve the Lord. Sometimes people in our families will even physically harm us.”

People like Nung appreciate the Bibles and Bible study materials, and training your gifts help provide. But they also covet your prayers.

“Please pray for members of our families, that they will open their hearts to Jesus,” Nung asks. “And pray, too, that we will be able to stand firm in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
