Prayer for Mission in Laos

This week we offer prayer for our missionary in Laos, Xuyen Dangers.  Xuyen faces the daunting challenge of introducing the concept of social work into a nation where it is a new idea.  She works with Church World Service to train volunteers to work with young people in need in the Southeast Asian nation.

You can read more about the mission to Laos here, including the story of a man who used his experiences in social work to become and serve as the chief of his village.

There are Christian missionaries serving around the world on our behalf in 70 countries. Each week, Global Missions highlights one of these missions and asks the church to pray for its continued vitality in spreading the Gospel.
