Because of the persecution in the Hmong region, many are afraid to follow Jesus, and sadly, a few have turned away from their faith. But still others are hungry and searching for the truth about Jesus, so Pastor Phuoc and other church planters persist in sharing the Gospel. Your donation to WorldServe's Hmong 500 project will provide people like Pastor Phuoc with the necessary resources to continue spreading the Gospel so that anyone who seeks Christ may know Him. Donate $40 USD/$50 CDN to support a Hmong church planter for one month. |
