Pastor Sy, an evangelical pastor, was kidnapped by 3 men driving a black truck. The abduction was witnessed by a bystander who thought the men were capturing a criminal.
A few days later, on 23rd October, Pastor Sy’s badly beaten body was discovered near his motorbike in a forested area outside Donkeo village in Khammouane province.
Local residents believe Pastor Sy was murdered because of his religious beliefs and evangelistic work. According to church leaders, Pastor Sy’s activities were being monitored and he received warnings from local authorities, relatives and neighbours that he could face harm if he continued to share his faith.
Pray for the family and friends of the late Pastor Sy. Pray that God will comfort and strengthen them as they grief and mourn the loss of a loved one. Pray that those who have been blessed and ministered to by the late Pastor Sy’s will carry on the evangelistic work he started. And many people in Laos will hear the Gospel message, believe in the Lord and receive salvation.
