In March 2020, Pastor Sithong was arrested for refusing to stop conducting worship services in a small church in Savannakhet Province in Laos. Since his detainment, there had been no news of his condition or whereabouts. Read more about this case here : https://gosheninternational.org/arrested-for-leading-worship/.
More than a year after his arrest and detention, Pastor Sithong stood trial for “creating disorder” by holding church services without permission. And on April 2021, he was convicted and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment and fined. Since he was detained for more than a year, he was deemed to have served his sentence and subsequently released.
We praise God for Pastor Sithong’s release and we wish to thank everyone who prayed for him.
Pray for his complete healing, both physical and emotional, as he reintegrates into his community. Pray that God will bless him and his family abundantly for standing firm and persevering in his faith in Christ.
Pray that God will also bless pastor Sithong’s church and ministry, cause it to flourish and bring many into the Kingdom of God.
