Summary

My name is Dao. I come from a small village in Northern Laos, where Christian persecution is intense. I was married at 17, and my husband, who struggled with drug abuse, became violently abusive—once even trying to kill me and my mother with a gun. With no one by my side, I began praying to God for deliverance. A pastor then introduced me to a skill center run by Barnabas Aid. I joined the center, learned new skills, and received much-needed food support. Today, I work as a manager at the center, teaching sewing and mushroom farming to other women, and I share my faith to inspire hope. I am grateful to Jesus for rescuing me from my painful past and giving me a fresh start so that my daughter can grow up to be a good Christian and even pursue a career in healthcare.

** About this story**
Christian persecution in South-East Asia can be intense. Worship is often shut down or prevented by the local authorities. Church members are sometimes arrested, despite legal protections that should allow Christians freedom to worship.

Dao dreamed of finding some safety even in this dangerous environment and so she got married and had a child. But her husband began taking drugs, and became abusive.

Dao, with her daughter and mother, had to escape and begin a new life. Still with no home or source of income, she prayed for God to deliver her from this hopeless situation.
