A Vietnamese tribal Christian, Ksor Ju, was abducted on Jan. 26 by two security police for unknown reasons, according to the Montagnard Foundation.
In January, Ksor Ju, 37, was ordered to report to the police station in Song Hinh District, Phu Yen province, for questioning. On Jan. 26 at about 8 a.m., Ksor Ju and his 17-year-old daughter, Nai H'Yam, set out for the police station on foot. They were met by two Vietnamese security police, who handcuffed and arrested Ksor Ju. The police tied Ksor Ju to their motorcycle and dragged him away while his teenage daughter watched in horror. The same day, about 30 security police searched and ransacked his house and threatened his family.
Ksor Ju's arrest is thought to be linked to issues of religious freedom, as the communist Vietnamese government has brutally suppressed house church Christians for decades.
Ksor Ju's whereabouts remain unknown at last report.

Please Pray!
Please pray that Ksor Ju's family will be told where he is being held. Pray for his safety and well being, and pray that he will be a bold witness for Christ to his captors. Please also pray for the salvation of the Vietnamese leaders and officials.
