Pastor Khen Delivers Bags of Food to Widows and Shares Lunch in Laos

ByLori Locklear

These photos from Laos were sent on October 16, 2026, to Pastor Khen’s WhatsApp group, “Pastor Khen Messages,” where he reports his outreach missions. Asked about them, Pastor Khen said the photos are from his delivery of food and medicine, and that the village chief and leaders provided lunch for him.

In a church hall, Pastor Khen and other men sit on the tiled floor around metal trays of sticky rice and other dishes. They share the meal and press their hands together in prayer over the bowls.

Pastor Khen said the photos also show widows who had received love bags of food. Women and small children pose with blue bags, some smiling and many making peace signs, while five men stand behind them. Pastor Khen, in a peach polo shirt, crouches on the tiled floor to hand bags to elderly women seated among the crowd. Beside a wooden pulpit, he hands one to a woman holding a small child in a red dress.

Other photos, provided by Pastor Khen, show around twenty blue bags stacked on the church floor, with men seated on red chairs nearby. A pastor in a yellow shirt kneels and crouches to hand bags of food to seated women, with children around them. Pastor Khen’s caption on one of these photos says the man is one of his disciples, who came with him on this ministry to deliver the food.
