Vietnam ranks #17 on the 2017 World Watch List, climbing from #20 in 2016, due to an increased level of violence and pressure spread across all spheres of life. Northern provinces, including evangelist Vang Atu’s*, are reported to have more persecution incidents against Christians. Vang Atu, a persecuted believer from the Hmong tribe, experienced the wrath of his community firsthand, including losing his family home, but that didn’t stop him from being bold in his beliefs.
“Pray with me that one day, I’ll be able to go back to my hometown and testify to the people about my faith in the Lord.”
This is Vang Atu’s prayer.
Atu, a 28-year-old father to two kids, was the first Christian convert in his village. He comes from the Hmong tribe and once worshipped different spirits asking for luck, wealth, good health, food, etc. But when he surrendered his life to Jesus, he completely abandoned his animistic beliefs to follow Christ—a decision that would change the lives of his family.
