When writing your district congressional representative or senators, suggest that they in turn write letters to the Lao ambassador to protest the deterioration of religious freedom for Christians. Also suggest that they meet with the ambassador personally to discuss religious persecution in Laos.
Pray for the faith and safety of Lao Christians.
