Down a small alley in a neighborhood, Co Lanh feeds sticks through the cylinder of a machine to coat, which will become incense sticks. These bamboo sticks are covered with a pulpy dough and dried. Packages are sold in temples and pagodas. Smoke and smells rise in courtyards of pagodas serving as the means to which prayers are lifted to idols. Pray for Vietnamese to know the One True God who answers prayers. โHe did the same for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods. The Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from Yahweh.โ 1 Kings 11:8-9
