#1 The Buddhist

October 1, 2019 by warvn Leave a Comment

Historically, the Vietnamese people have never celebrated birthdays but rather give a strong emphasis to commemorating the date of death of family and loved ones.

Lien came to the Buddhist temple to do just that.  To pray on behalf of her father who had died 100 days before.  Lien told us that when she comes to the temple she prays for happiness.  The Buddhism practiced in Ho Chi Minh City is largely influenced by Chinese Buddhism stemming from the 1,000 years of Chinese reign over Vietnam.  As with all religious or spiritual expression in Vietnam, Buddhist practice is very syncretistic, drawing from other Asian religions, fortune telling, animism and most importantly ancestor worship.

Here are some ways you can pray:

— The majority of Vietnamese people identify themselves as Buddhist.  Pray that God will pour out His Spirit among the Buddhists so that they may see clearly the hope of new life through Jesus Christ.

—Pray for Lien and millions of others Buddhists in Ho Chi Minh City to find more than happiness but rather true joy and peace that can only come from God.

—Pray for opportunities to share the Gospel with Buddhists in Ho Chi Minh City in a way that will speak to their desire for spiritual fulfillment.

Each day from October 1 to October 10 we will be publishing one of the 10 Faces of Ho Chi Minh City with prompts to pray as we lead up to our 10/10 Day of Prayer for the city.

"We love all the decorations," was one reply to what these department store workers liked about Christmas. When I asked if they knew the story of Christmas or Jesus, they said they never heard. Pray for Vietnamese to hear about Jesus this Christmas season. #pray4vietnam 1 day ago
