This month I was able to spend some time in the beautiful country of Laos and it was such an eye opening experience.
Laos is a country in pain. The countryside is scarred by a
secret war. The people oppressed by a communist regime. Christians are
persecuted, even martyred. The atmosphere is fearful, suspicious and bleak.
And yet the Christians here are on fire. Here there are no “pew
warmers”. It takes commitment to go to church. It takes faith because it is a
lifestyle that could endanger your life. Christians in Laos have to be secure
in their faith, because the cost is too high for them to be lukewarm .
This month our team was given the opportunity to make a
video for the ministry we worked with here. Emily was definitely the one in
charge of this project, doing the filming and editing, with our assistance on
the script, voiceovers, music, and layout. We hope that this video speaks to
you, and we pray that it will bring people and prayers to the contacts we were
blessed to share with.
Please note that this is not the full video. The full video
includes interviews and videos of Lao Christians and missionaries that are too
dangerous to post online. This is the edited, internet version. Please let me know if you want to see the full version when I get home.
