May. 23, 2014 | Laos Pray for Evangelist An Laotian evangelist known locally as "The Jesus Guy," who often faces pressure from local authorities and police, said two policemen stopped to investigate the large gathering of Hmong people at his Easter service and ended up staying. Rather than trying to end the services, the officers were intrigued and remained for the duration of the evangelist's sermon about the death and resurrection of Jesus for the salvation and deliverance of all who believe. Although the officers declined the evangelist's invitation to stay, eat and talk further, one of the officers exclaimed, "Wow, Jesus talked pretty tough on sin, didn't He?"

Radicals had threatened the pastor, Ombeni Omari, and the church for the past two years. Pastor Omari, a Christian convert from Islam, escaped to Dar es Salaam with his wife and three children after learning of the attack. He had founded the almost 60-member church, the only Christian church in the area, and nearly all of its members were converts from Islam. Although the church building was destroyed, Pastor Omari said he will return to the area because the work he was called to is not yet finished.

On several occasions, radical Muslims have thrown stones at church members entering and leaving services. While the Algerian government requires churches to register, most house churches operate openly without interference from authorities. Algerian Christians are often persecuted by Muslim family members, and the church in Tizi Ozou supports several believers who were kicked out of their homes because of their faith.
