I'm not a prophet, or apostle, or disciple, or pastor, or preacher, or influencer, or teacher, or evangelist, or leader, or elder; I am a servant of Jesus of Nazareth: a pardoned sinner who has been given abundant mercy and grace by the Father of all creation.
VOM workers met with Thongkham’s wife, Sengdara, after he was killed for his Christian faith in Laos. One worker wrote: “Despite the risks, [Thongkham] knew people need to hear the gospel and encounter Christ.”
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from a raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I'll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation
Who is like the Lord, our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation

Sam and Kate serve our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in Southeast Asia. On July 23, 2024, they were finishing up their morning Bible study when the phone started to ring. One of their fellow workers in the gospel, Thongkham, had been killed for his faith in Laos.
I used to watch pornography, and it almost ruined my life.
What started as a mistake became a habit.
A habit turned into an addiction.
That addiction turned me into a slave to lust.
Those desires heavily influenced my everyday life, and almost drove me crazy.
But thanks to God for his gift of grace through Christ.
I was redeemed and saved from the bandage of lust.
Now I live free, and i see people normally like I used to.
I now understand what it meant to show up and love people genuinely.
I was a slave to lust, but Jesus bought me with his blood. Now I live for him :)
