Village Denies Funeral Customs to Christian Family
Laos
In spring 2024, Lod, a Khmu villager, placed his faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 90. On June 20, he passed away. Typically, every villager would make a small donation of money and rice to the grieving family. However, because Lod was a Christian, the head of the village refused to collect donations to assist Lod’s family and did not allow any villagers to attend Lod’s funeral. Only the 10 Christians families in the community supported Lod’s family. They invited a Christian leader from another town to conduct the funeral service, but village leaders refused to allow any Christians to enter the village until the Christians sought assistance from provincial authorities.
