TAO TAN, LAOS (BosNewsLife)-- He quietly says he still believes in Jesus Christ. But he can no longer admit it publicly. Since 42-year old Phouthone Chansombat became the chief of Tao Tan, a village 135 kilometers (about 85 miles) from Laos' capital Vientiane, he had to renounce his faith in Christ. "I can no longer be a Christian," Chansombat says, fighting back tears.
