The Godly Will Be Persecuted
“In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” – 2 Timothy 3:12
In March 2024, three members of Pastor Y Khen Bdap’s family were arrested for meeting in a house church in Vietnam. Pastor Bdap’s younger brother Y Qui Bdap, his son Y Nam Bkrong and his nephew Y Kic Bkrong were arrested by Police in Dak Lai Province.
Their house church is one of many churches and denominations not officially recognized by the Vietnamese Communist Party.
After one week in prison, they were released.
Christians are subject to regular harassment and discrimination from local and state authorities.
Pastor Y Khen Bdap, who was sentenced a decade ago to four years in prison for his religious activities, confirmed the three men arrested and released are members of his family. He affirmed that harassment continues for Christians in their area.
Christians have, are and will be persecuted.
Pray for those who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ.
“Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.” – John 15:20
