18-year-old Rung and her brother left their village to find work. They were employed by a Christian family whose lifestyle and testimony won Rung and her brother to faith in the Lord.
After the siblings returned to their village, their mother became ill. Family members believed it was because of the siblings’ Christian faith. One day, while Rungs’ brother was away from home, the family sacrificed a chicken and encouraged Rung to renounce her faith and participate in the ritual.
When she refused, the police was called. After interviewing her, the police told her to go to the police station the next day. Afraid that she would be held in custody, Rung left her village to seek refuge with a front-line worker in the region’s capital.
Rung left home with only the clothes she wore, her handphone and $12. She is now receiving aid for food, clothes and sewing supplies so that she can learn a trade.
Pray that both Rung and her brother will continue to grow in their faith despite the many challenges they are facing. Pray that Rung will be able to pick up sewing skills fast and with ease so that she can support herself. Pray that Rung’s family will come to faith in Christ.
