(Laos) — And finally, bicycles are helping missionaries in Laos spread the Good News. Christian Aid Mission recently equipped 12 missionaries with bikes to enable them to more effectively get from village to village to share the Gospel. Because most unevangelized villages are inaccessible by public transportation, bicycles can help these men spend more time in evangelism, rather than walking. Officials say this will allow more churches to be planted in a country that views Christianity as subversive behavior.
