On March 11, 2026, Brother Phát, a motorbike evangelist in Vietnam, was beaten to death after returning from a gospel ministry trip into the mountains of Vietnam.

Brother Phát was a faithful evangelist who preached the gospel in many rural villages in the mountains of Vietnam. He, and others like him, traveled by motorbike across rugged landscapes, including extremely muddy and rocky jungle tracks. These Vietnamese pastors and evangelists rode on their motorbikes and proclaimed the gospel and planted churches, even though they faced hardship and persecution.

Several months before his death, local authorities destroyed Brother Phát’s home as a warning to stop his gospel ministry. But Brother Phát continued.

On March 11, 2026, Brother Phát was returning home from a ministry trip and he was viciously kicked off of his motorbike. After falling to the ground, he was beaten and left in a ditch on the side of the road. He died shortly after.

Brother Phát leaves behind his wife and a family that have endured extreme hardships because of their faith. Pray for God’s comfort for them and pray that they will remain faithful to Jesus.

On this International Martyr’s Day, we celebrate the life and ministry of Brother Phát. His life was marked by faithful service despite persecution. His courage and devotion to Christ continue to inspire those who knew him.
