Why would I be afraid?

July 27, 2013 by warvn Leave a Comment

b_redteamInitially she was perplexed, maybe even somewhat amused.  She had many questions.

“How could this person actually believe there was one supreme God or believe that I could have a relationship with God?  This goes against everything I have believed before, everything that I am comfortable with.  My parents have always taught me to depend on family, depend on myself to make anything of my life.  How can I put my trust totally in someone else?”

But as the Red team continued to share with Binh* they focused on verses from Scripture and their own personal experience, their testimony of God’s goodness.  It was never a debate but rather always a matter of simply sharing why God was important to them.  The more Binh heard the more she wanted to understand.  Then yesterday she told them she was ready.  Together with two from the team she prayed to receive Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior – placing all of her life and trust in Him.

After Binh prayed and made her commitment to Christ the Red team members immediately begin to disciple her.  They started with a lesson on assurance of salvation and the changes that have come to Binh as a new creation in Christ (2 Cor 5:17).  As part of that discipleship they began to talk with Binh about baptism and the need to share her decision with her family and friends.  Knowing the opposition and persecution that can come from families, one of the Red team members asked Binh: “Are you afraid to tell your family that now you are a Christian?”  Binh’s faith-filled response:

“Now I have Jesus in my heart – why would I be afraid of anything?”

Pray with us for Binh and her new faith.  Pray for an opportunity for her to be baptized soon.  Pray that as she shares with her family and friends they will also be compelled by the truth of the Gospel and turn to God.  Pray that God will continue to grow and strengthen Binh that she might multiply herself many times over.  Pray as well for the many seeds that have been planted by the Red team asking God for more fruit that lasts.

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
