Baptisms in a Creek and Prayer in a Bamboo Church in Laos

ByLori Locklear

Pastor Khen wrote that six people were baptized. He stands in a muddy creek in Laos, speaking with one man and baptizing another in a red shirt while people watch from the bank. On the dirt bank, he lines up with seven men and women in wet clothes.

He also wrote that four people accepted Jesus Christ. He sits and talks with villagers beneath a wooden stilt house. Inside a bamboo house, he and a fellow pastor stand over a kneeling man in a red shirt as other hands reach out in prayer. His message asks for prayer for healing for the sick.

In a bamboo church, he preaches with a wooden cross on the wall behind him, and a woman in a red top speaks at a wooden stand. The people there pray with open hands and sing together.

A video sent the same day is on YouTube: “A New Village After Dam Construction in Laos.”
