God knew...

Where Christians are Persecuted (map compiled by World Evangelical Alliance):

Compare the country color to the color of the text below:

Life can be difficult for Christians and harsh for converts

Christian minorities suffer systematic discrimination and persecution

Persecution of Christian minorities is pervasive and severe

Historically Christian minorities at risk of genocide

***
Notice that we are going to one of the very few green countries in Asia, where persecution is not pervasive. We didn't even think about looking at a persecuted church map when considering where to go. China was even one of our top places. It's interesting to see how two countries that border Thailand (Myanmar and Laos) are both red countries too. God knew what we could handle for now. Perhaps he will ask us to go somewhere else later. American Christians certainly enjoy a remarkable degree of freedom of worship compared to many of our brothers and sisters around the world.
