All of this stems from the Communist culture set by the government. THE #18 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST In Vietnam, Christians are persecuted by their local communities and the government. Christians can be imprisoned, beaten and exiled from their villages because of their faith. All of this stems from the Communist culture set by the government. Church meetings are regularly disrupted, and sometimes churches are not even allowed to meet at all.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that the government will see that Christianity is not a Western influence, but a blessing from God. Pray for ethnic minorities who are coming to faith in rural areas – that their numbers will continue to grow. Pray that family members of converts will find Christ through their testimonies.
