Mebo of Laos

(MEE-boh) – Thirteen children (ages 4-13) from two villages where Mebo live have neighbors who have been faithfully taking them to church in their pickup truck each week. The children are poor, and some do not attend school. Some live with their grandparents. They can be considered as outcasts, but the local church welcomed them as part of the church family. After having been taught the gospel, 11 of the children prayed to receive Christ. None have been baptized. And, as with most children, it is hard to know where their hearts are. Pray for their continued discipleship, especially as their neighbors with the truck will move away soon. Pray that the church members will find another way to bring them to church. Pray for good Sunday School programs at this Mebo church in the small city.
