Taking Care of Life

healthcareTopic: Healthcare

One evening Khanh’s father suffered a heart attack. Khanh called the ambulance, but it never came. Desperately Khanh got him into the back of a taxi and rushed him to the hospital. He was still alive when they staggered through the doors, but Khanh had forgotten her money. Public hospitals in Vietnam require you to pay upfront before they will even admit the patient. Because Khanh didn’t have enough cash, the hospital refused to attend to her father. He died in the hospital foyer.

Mai was a 46 year old single mother with tuberculosis. A government program provided free treatment for all TB patients, so Mai went to the hospital in the city. Repeated treatments were required, so patients had to either live near the hospital, or travel in from their hometown. After a few weeks Mai’s money accommodation in the city ran out. Her symptoms seemed to have improved, so Mai returned home. Her 65-year-old mother took care of her and her young daughter, but slowly the TB worsened. Within 6 months Mai was dead.

In recent years Vietnam has see outbreaks of cholera, bird flu, HIV, SARS, and swine flu. Most healthcare facilities are functioning at overflow capacity. Doctors routinely see more than a hundred patients a day, and have just a couple of minutes with each. Though healthcare is meant to be available to all, the reality is very different. Those without money, relying on government-provided health insurance, will often get substandard care, facing long waits, crowded facilities and very limited treatment options.

Pray

  • Pray for the sick and suffering in Vietnam, many of whom are marginalized by their illness.
  • Pray for Christian healthcare workers, that they would be living examples of Jesus through their work.
  • Pray for Christian workers to pioneer other areas of health care, such as physiotherapy, hospice care and HIV/AIDS treatment.

Vendors balancing fruit and goods to sell to custo Vendors balancing fruit and goods to sell to customers traverse a narrow path.

Have you found the small gate? The narrow road? How blessed you are, as Jesus says, “The gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:14

Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal those He is urging to the narrow path to find a believer to talk to today. God, use believers to make Your Presence known and unbelievers to find You. #pray4vietnam

Mandarin soldiers stand guard over Emperor Khai Di Mandarin soldiers stand guard over Emperor Khai Dinh's tomb outside of Hue, Vietnam. 

“Stay Alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith.” 1 Peter 5:8-9

Peter wrote this passage of Scripture to those believers persecuted for their faith in New Testament times. The verses continue to speak to all believers today, as we face temptations and distress in daily life.

God, please remind a Vietnamese believer today to stand firm in their faith and know You are victorious all circumstances. #pray4vietnam

Family is an important aspect of life in Vietnam. Family is an important aspect of life in Vietnam. Three generations often live under the same roof, so there is a heightened sense of belonging and loyalty to their family.

"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 6:6-7

As Father's Day approaches, the role of a father in the family is crucial in making decisions. Pray for Vietnamese dads to lead by the prompting of the Holy Spirit to guide families to belief in Jesus. Ask God to make Himself known and many men turn to God both young and old for His glory. #pray4vietnam

In the south of Vietnam, there are two seasons: ho In the south of Vietnam, there are two seasons: hot and dry and hot and wet. Any season, temperatures make the body feel hot. Cool and quenching drinks give the body relief.

How much the same respite we have when we come to Jesus. “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink! The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.” John 7:37-38 Jesus was talking about the promise of the Holy Spirit, and as believers today, we can have that deep fill of relief.

Pray for Vietnamese who are thirsty today and don't know where to find their fulfillment. Ask God to lead Vietnamese who are seeking to those who can share this Good News and offer His Gift of Salvation. #pray4vietnam

“It's the greatest and most important decision y “It's the greatest and most important decision you will ever make that will not just affect your life today but for all eternity. Don't make the decision quickly or without thought, but know I want you to say, “Yes” to Jesus,” Minh shared with his friends.

“And when the Holy Spirit comes, He will convict the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.” John 16:8

Pray for Vietnamese who hear the Gospel, read about Jesus and His gift of Salvation, that they will hear the prompting of the Holy Spirit and freely choose Him today. #pray4vietnam

Rice in many Asian cultures holds such a deep mean Rice in many Asian cultures holds such a deep meaning. It's more than the texture and flavor. It's that everyday food that was carefully prepared and meant to fill you up when all the other dishes have been eaten. 

Jesus is the same way. He's the Savior of the world and important in our lives. “Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.” 
1 John 4:14

Please stop and pray for Believers who are giving special focus to build new relationships with Vietnamese, share Jesus and His salvation today. #pray4vietnam
