(BosNewsLife) – Two Christian leaders, including a former Communist, have been sentenced to three years in prison on false charges of “possessing illegal weapons”, a well informed missionary organization said Thursday, July 14. Ttwo men, identified as Mr. Khamchan, 59, and Mr. Vangthong, 31, had been held in custody since March 27. News of the sentence comes amid growing concern within the human rights community about reports of widespread torture of Christians and other government supported pressure on Christian communities in the Communist-run Asian nation. “Christians commonly have been charged with social crimes, such as possession of weapons, in order to divert the real issues behind arrests and imprisonment,” a CAM contact in Laos said on condition of anonymity. The person who possessed the weapons used to accuse the two men reportedly confessed his guilt to authorities. However Christian Aid’s contact claimed that “officials refused to listen because they desire to keep Khamchan and Vangthong in prison” instead.

Americans should be ashamed of themselves that call themselves Christians who sit comfortable in pews thinking the whole while of vacations and other worldly endeavors . We need to quit trying to keep up with the jones and be more like this woman instead of seeking creature comforts . Pastors /Ministers need to preach more on the Cross and more on the dangers of Christians trying to fit in to the worlds culture of wanting more than they need .

Here's what one reader shared:
"The Last Words of the Martyrs tell the courageous stories of people who are committed and dependent on our Lord in ways few in the West have ever been. Even more importantly for us in the church, to "translate" what occurred into lessons for us to better understand, and then apply in our walk with the Lord. One lesson is that God uses what is clearly evil, and builds His Church in persecuted areas of the world. Many in the West have become too comfortable in our ease, busyness, and distractions to even consider getting out of our comfort zone to be salt and light for Jesus, to our dark and darkening culture, to reach out to people that God loves to be reconciled to."
