Update: Laotian Christians released

We are happy to report that on June 13, Christians arrested by plain clothes police, after visiting Christian villages in Laos, were released without incident, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts.

The believers were released without any problems, and they were not required to pay any fines. The police questioned them for hours and wanted to find out if they were resistance movement. When the police found out they were Christians, they were all released. Praise God!

The Christians were arrested on June 12, after visiting Christian villages. The visiting believers met the police when they were in the village for their routine daily work. The police questioned them about what they were doing in the village.

The Voice of the Martyrs rejoices with the families of these released believers. Praise God for His faithfulness. Pray believers in Laos will remain faithful in their faith in Jesus Christ.
