The Loss of Everything Earthly

After losing their homes, their husbands, their land and most of their belongings, Mrs. Pak Ly and Mrs. Mai Wang had no where to turn but up! They cried out to God to help them in their desperate time of need. They even gave up their right as citizens in exchange for their Christian faith. They were threatened, mistreated, and abused in attempts to make them renounce their faith, yet they stood strong.

Mrs. Pak Ly’s suffering did not end there. Her only daughter was raped and she gave birth to a son. With three mouths to feed and no job, she did not know where to turn. Mrs. Mai Wang, mother of six, lost two of her children. The women decided to pack their humble bags and journey to Vientiane, Laos. There they met fellow believers and ASAP church planter Khamsao, who immediately offered to help them, although he himself has little in this world to share. Though they do not have earthly possessions and land, they praise the Lord for a Christian community where they can worship each Sabbath in relative freedom.
