Vietnam (International Christian Concern) — After one week in prison, three members of an independent Protestant house church in Vietnam have been released to their families and are now home.

The three men, all related, were arbitrarily arrested by Police in Dak Lai Province. Their house church is one of many churches and denominations not officially recognized by the Vietnamese Communist Party. Consequently, they are subject to regular harassment and discrimination from local and state authorities.

Pastor Y Khen Bdap, who was sentenced a decade ago to four years in prison for his religious activities, told Radio Free Asia that the three men arrested and released are members of his family. He affirmed that harassment continues for Christians in their area.

HOW TO PRAY: Pray for prisoners in similar situations to be released. Praise God that these men are free once again. Pray for protection for their families and their house church.
