After Americans withdrew from Vietnam in 1974, persecution of the predominantly Christian Dega people became full-scale genocide. To this day, the Dega people are persecuted because of our support of American troops during the Vietnam War. Our religious differences makes the persecution even worse. Our people are imprisoned, poisoned, fatally tortured, and murdered. Today the Dega people are not permitted to worship God freely. The Vietnamese government monitors every step of the Dega people. This puts serious obstacles on the Dega people from worshipping Jesus Christ our Lord as humble servants are supposed to.
