I am a single young man from Laos. Though I am not a Christian yet it seems I am compelled to believe in Christ. Everyday I listen to the broadcast and I want to live a better life. I am so happy to hear a fellow Hmong person on the air and share this great news to the ears of the people like us.

I have yet to decide whether I should lead my life towards God and the Lord. There are no Christians around my general area and I feel as if I would be lost because I would have no one to share fellowship with. That is my number one concern now. What will happen to me afterwards? Please help me out here.

I was also told of two ways for man to go. One way through that of a Christian: hard and terrible and filled with many obstacles; and one of the non-Christian: easy and very well off; able to do and get away with many things in life. If this is true then Christianity would not as pleasing as it sounds. Please help with these questions. I want to follow the right path.

This is my second letter that I have written to you. I praise the Lord that my whole family has come to accept the ways of God and Christ.

Our family had been under the bondage of evil spirits and that had kept us apart and divided against itself. So what I did was I went the other town and found a Hmong pastor to come and rid my house of this problem. After the help of God was put on my home, these evil spirits were t

ruly gone and my family once again became one.

If it is possible I would be reluctant to receive any monies which would be able to aid me. I thank God that we are doing OK now. Thank you.

I am a widower with three children. My wife recently passed away a year ago. When I was 6 my mother had died. My father remarried and so they didn't want me anymore. I was taken care under that of my aunt and uncle.

It was very hard to deal with life without a mother. I eventually went to school and graduated and then went on to college with a degree in agriculture. As I tried to find a job I decided that the economy was too bad to create for me a job. After failing to find a job in the capital I returned to my village and married.

From the marriage we had three children. My wife was the most amazing person I knew. When she died I could not bear it. She was just sick for the longest time and then she died. What I did I could not bear now. I am still no over it.

The doctors also say that I am not doing too well. They say that I have some bad heart conditions, that I may have heart failure. This may be true because I tend to not be able to breathe at times and other times I blackout.

To tell you the truth pastor I am not a Christian. I hear about it all the time. But I know that I am fighting a battle against Satan. Would you at FEBC please pray for me that I will able to care for my children and that I will be able to care for myself and one day be able to find the Lord in my heart.

Again I pray that your broadcast remains. It is that little shimmer of hope that we have here. The only thing that will keep us going. Thank you and God bless.

I am a church leader from the north east part of Laos. Our church is growing and we are keeping the faith in Christ so that we will be able to grow larger and influence that amount in o

ur lives which will draw others the God. Listening to the broadcast helps us with that.

The more we listen the more we are benefiting. Keep on sending the good news. Remember that we are counting on all of you. Thank you.

This is to let you know that I am not a Christian but I always listen to your broadcast. I really like your broadcast and everyday is another influence for me from Jesus Christ.

In where I live there are six families which believe in God or are Christian already. We heard that there is a pastor in the capital of Laos which can get rid of evil spirits. They say that we would have to provide transportation for this pastor to come and cleanse our houses of evil spirits. We are not financially stable so would it be pay if you were to help us in some way? We would be thankful for anything that you can provide. We also need hymnbooks, Bibles, and audio tapes as well.

Again I am so happy that I was able to receive the signal of your broadcast on my radio. Thank you so much and God bless you. Thank you.
