Gia and her husband, Dai, have been Believers for 15 years. Because they chose biblical names for their children, getting birth certificates for them was difficult. Their daughter, Ruth, was diagnosed with a condition that has affected her neurological and physical development. There is a fund intended for children with Ruth’s condition, and the family was called to a government office to receive these funds. After waiting there all day, however, they were presented with an ultimatum: Change Ruth’s name and renounce their faith or leave without the funding. They refused the money. Additionally, when they later harvested their crops, a neighbour who has opposed them for their faith in Christ blocked them from bringing a vehicle close enough to gather their harvest and take it to a processing plant, so the whole crop, their primary income for the year, rotted in the field.
Pray for Gia, Dai, and their families as they face these difficulties. Pray that God will strengthen them.
Pray that God would provide for their daughter's medical needs and their income.
Pray they will continue to be godly witnesses to those around them and grow spiritually through these circumstances.
