Although she was an animist who believed in ancestral spirits, BounMee turned to Christians she knew as a way to break the curse. After meeting a local pastor, she put her trust in Christ. Eventually, her brother-in-law, Reang, who is also a leader of her village, learned of BounMee&rsquo;s Christian faith. He told her to choose between God or her family; BounMee chose Jesus. Angered by her response, Reang stole a portion of BounMee&rsquo;s land, claiming that her husband, before his death, had given him permission to farm it. Villagers have stopped talking to BounMee, further isolating her following her husband&rsquo;s death. Pray for BounMee to feel God&rsquo;s presence and be encouraged by His word. Pray that she is able to find community with other believers who can help her grow in her faith.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.persecution.com\/globalprayerguide\/laos\/?_source_code=WBPGGPG20B\">Click here<\/a> to find out about Christian persecution in Laos and learn how to pray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2350\/bounmee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post a prayer for BounMee on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After her husband died, BounMee felt cursed.
