Laos
Abstract
Christianity in Laos has historically thrived among marginalized groups, such as the Khmu and Hmong people, who found solace in its message of hope and liberation. While the government officially recognizes religious freedom, Christians, particularly in remote areas, still face occasional persecution. Despite these challenges, Christianity continues to expand in Laos, fueled by radio broadcasts, Bible translation projects, and the perceived power of God in healings and deliverances
