Life is filled with challenges for even the younge Life is filled with challenges for even the youngest in Vietnam. When we are confronted with difficulties, the best advice is to go before God to the One that can help.

Jesus often withdrew to pray---how much more do we need to be in prayer.

We must know to humble ourselves before the throne of grace, confess our sins, and seek God. We learn dependence on Him, trust in Him, as we give all our concerns to God.

"Pray constantly." 1 Thessalonians 5:17

"Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out." MSG - Ephesians 6:18 

Pray for Vietnamese to be urged by the Holy Spirit to pray more and see God do the miraculous because He is God Almighty---the One who is in charge of miracles. #pray4vietnam

When we are in school, we follow the instructions When we are in school, we follow the instructions given for a test or an assignment. When we are working, we follow directions that are required of us. The list goes on and there are consequences when we don't follow. 

Not according to our own agenda, but according to the Word of God, we are to live in obedience to Christ.

When there is no obedience, there is no spiritual growth.

Pray for Vietnamese to find obedience in God's Word as they read the Bible each day. Praise God that where once a printed Bible might be difficult to come by, Vietnamese can read His Word online. #pray4vietnam

Branches are gathered and piled into a fire to mak Branches are gathered and piled into a fire to make a space more useful. Jesus spoke of branches that were not abiding in Him in John 15:6-7.

We may wonder about our world and why there are pandemics and tribulation. Jesus tells us that there will be suffering in the world in John 16. We can look to Him and have confidence that He is aware of the evil that is in the world.

Yet God desires for us to enjoy our lives with His purpose in mind and not be trapped by evil. Knowing when to resist what the world tempts and entices is a key to spiritual growth. Anytime we feel we are weighed down and in despair, we can call out to God to protect and give us strength.

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15

Pray for Vietnamese to have God on their minds and not what they see and hear around them. Ask God to protect them and give them a deep love for Him and not the world. #pray4vietnam

Down a small alley, food or drink vendors set up e Down a small alley, food or drink vendors set up each morning bringing in their fare and putting out chairs and stools. It’s a neighborhood gathering that is rich in the culture of Vietnam today.

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.”

Want to experience spiritual growth? There must be a steady and constant intake of the Word of God. Even more--catch this---the more we put it into practice into our lives is the extent we will grow spiritually.

Not pouring ourselves into the Word of God is not an ability issue or an aptitude issue; it's an obedience issue. We will never advance beyond our steady diet of God's Word.

Pray for good discipleship and commitment among new Vietnamese believers. Pray for small groups that are being started all this week in discipleship. Ask the Holy Spirit to impress on new believers the cost of following God and His desire for them to grow spiritually. #pray4vietnam

Salvation is one of the first steps to spiritual g Salvation is one of the first steps to spiritual growth.

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die ---ever. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26

Easter is days away. We can have such great happiness and confidence that our Savior lives. Pray for Vietnamese who have yet to know Jesus and believe. Ask God to reveal Himself to many these days before Easter and Vietnamese trust in Him as Savior and Lord. #pray4vietnam

Cao Dai is a religion that originates in Vietnam f Cao Dai is a religion that originates in Vietnam from the mid-1920's. The religion combines Buddhism, Roman Catholicism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Islam. 

Religious pluralism---multiple religions all lead to God---does not please The One True God.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it." Matthew 7:13-14

Pray for Vietnamese to find truth and life in Jesus. #pray4vietnam

"Jesus told him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

A smile communicates lots. Each day we have a chan A smile communicates lots. Each day we have a chance to communicate to those around us without even saying a single word. 

The foundation of any healthy relationship is communication. The better the communication, the better the relationship will be. God talks to us in many ways, but He primarily talks to us through His Word, the Bible. We talk to Him through prayer. We learn to listen to the sound of God’s voice in our lives when we read His Word. 

“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.” Acts 2:42

“Rejoice always! Pray constantly. Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Pray for Vietnamese believers to deepen their relationship with God by reading His Word each day and praying throughout their day. #pray4vietnam

Down a small alley, a neighborhood barber trims ha Down a small alley, a neighborhood barber trims hair while other customers wait their turn with a facial and reading the paper---captive audiences. There are opportunities to share the Good News at work and with friends or family by being prepared with what God is doing in our lives each day. 

The Holy Spirit empowers us to be effective witnesses. A witness is one who not only tells the truth, but also lives the truth.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Pray for Vietnamese believers to make use of every opportunity to be a witness for what Jesus is doing in their lives each day. #pray4vietnam
