Binh Tan District – People Waiting for the Gospel

Points of Prayer

  • Ask God to send Believers to proclaim the message of salvation to the people of Binh Tan District. Pray that families and workers will accept His gift of salvation.
  • Some have described this district as an ‘inner city of migrant workers’. Far from the city center with lower costs of living many of those who have migrated from rural areas to work in the city live here. Pray that churches would start and multiply among them who will in turn take the Gospel back to other parts of the country.
  • Pray for the people trapped by the spiritual strongholds represented by Chùa Bình An and Đình Nghi Xuân.

Binh Tan District is considered the westernmost district in Ho Chi Minh City. The Saigon River runs along its southern border. This district is closer to rural and suburban areas compared to the more central and densely populated districts of the center of the city. As a result, this district has experienced significant industrial and economic growth, making it a prominent area for factories and industrial zones within the city.

Tao Tao Industrial Park, Vinh Loc Industrial Park, and Pham Van Hai Industrial Park are the largest zones in Binh Tan District that have contributed to the economic growth and provided employment for many residents of the district.

The people in this district are quite familiar with two prominent temples. The burning of incense, offerings for idols and prayer all reveal the desire and hope for the troubles of the day. The people in District Binh Tan need our prayers because they are waiting for someone to tell them the Good News of Jesus.

How can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!?
Romans 10:14-15

Crowds gather on lantern street to purchase lanter Crowds gather on lantern street to purchase lanterns, take pictures, and eat street foods in celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival. Lanterns are lit during the evening to bring color and light to the festivities.

When there is no light there is darkness and we can easily lose our way. As Believers, we trust that God is always at work, even when we cannot see Him at work.

Recall the story from Esther chapter 4 when Mordecai tells Esther she has become a queen 'for such a time as this'. Mordecai displays faith in God's sovereignty and ability to keep His promises. Esther is reminded that perhaps all the events of her life have led her to this moment. What seemed like a coincidence, chance, or just plain luck was actually the work of God's hand.

When it seemed like God was not doing much, He was actually very much at work. Thank you, God, praise to You alone for Your work in our lives!

"Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1

Pray for Vietnamese Believers to grow in great faith, knowing that God has not forgotten them but is at work. #pray4vietnam

A typical room for rent along a street with each d A typical room for rent along a street with each door representing a cheap living space. There are certainly costly houses and apartments in various locations throughout Ho Chi Minh City, but for the majority of the population, the cost is minimal in Western comparison.

Jesus was never so eager to keep a crowd when He was teaching that He minimized the cost of faith, from John chapter 6. He could not have been clearer that following Him requires enormous sacrifice.

"Whoever does not carry their cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple." Matthew 16:24

Jesus tells us we are to take up our cross and follow Him daily. Not every few years, months, or weeks, but He tells us to daily follow Him in sacrifice and obedience.

Is that a suggestion or should our lives show the cost daily?

Vietnamese struggle with the same in their lives as the world around them grows in economics and material gain. Pray for God's truth to pierce hearts to be faithful. #pray4vietnam

How to get the word out? Advertisement signs for p How to get the word out? Advertisement signs for places to rent abound on the side of this coffee shop.

If you had an important message, wouldn't you want to share that with those you love? We would call or text or instant message someone with news that was important or life-changing.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” Psalms 119:105

How many times this year have you offered a Bible to someone? Are they just so common? Or do we fail to think that everyone has a copy so readily available?

Believers understand that a better translation of the Bible makes for better understanding. Pray for a Bible project to get a good translation available to many Vietnamese, as many steps are involved. Pray for God to provide His light to many. #pray4vietnam

Traffic moves alongside markets and sometimes even Traffic moves alongside markets and sometimes even through a market to stop, buy and go---comfortable routines in the city in daily urban life.

Does your faith inspire you to live beyond your comfort zone?
Tasks you can accomplish without help or great effort; places and people you feel totally secure with; responsibilities that make you look good; a time or place where everyone is happy with you---these are examples of comfort zones.

"Faith motivated Abraham to obey God's call and leave the familiar to discover the territory he was destined to inherit from God. So, he left with only a promise and without even knowing ahead of time where he was going, Abraham stepped out in faith." Hebrews 11:8

Instead of charting our course by faith, we'd rather use our human experience, wisdom, and effort to control our lives in order to protect us from failure, discomfort, or looking bad. No faith or very little faith.

It's hard to live by faith, but so worth the journey, like Abraham took.

Pray for Believers ready to journey on faith. Pray for God to be pleased in their faithfulness. #pray4vietnam

Down a quiet alley, the morning starts sitting and Down a quiet alley, the morning starts sitting and enjoying a pot of tea under the shade of palm leaves and an added umbrella. It's the slow life in District Binh Chanh, one of the outer western districts of the city.

Faith is more often that firm confidence that results in action. Noah prepared an ark, Moses left Egypt behind, and David ran quickly to the battle line to meet the Philistine.

Instead of sitting back, believers should count on God's promises and act accordingly, as the men and women listed in Hebrews 11. The Lord accomplished amazing feats through their lives when they believed Him and moved out in obedience. Faith grows the more we put it into action.

The apostle Paul wrote a message to a co-worker, Archippus, "Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it." Colossians 4:17. If the Holy Spirit has pricked your heart, do what He has asked of you.

Pray for Believers to strengthen their trust in God and His promises, and to act on faith when they see a command or warning in Scripture. Vietnamese are being trained to share the Gospel; pray for obedience to their calling. #pray4vietnam

Walking street from the lotus fountain to the city Walking street from the lotus fountain to the city hall of Ho Chi Minh City, built in the early 1900s originally as the Hotel de Ville---a change from what was originally built to something different.

Change happens and we often hear that people do not like change, it may not be entirely true. While many people enjoy routines and familiarity, they also welcome new things. It's not that we don't like change, we just don't want to change. This is because it can be hard, uncomfortable, humbling, or painfully difficult.

But as Believers, we must remember that change is really at the heart of following God. When we believe the Gospel, we accept the truth that we need to change. We are broken people whom God is making new through Christ.

We can also fall into dangerous complacency as Believers. Content to simply have that identity as a follower of Jesus and fail to rigorously pursue Christ-likeness. Are you working to see what changes are in your life that need to be made? Are you ready for change?

"for we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

"Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19

Pray for Vietnamese who need to make changes in their lives to follow Jesus. Believers are making a list of their friends and families to hear the Good News; pray for many to be willing to be changed. #pray4vietnam

"Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don't submit again to a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1

When we don't have faith to take that step of the unknown---because faith is not seeing---we are living in slavery, and that has to do with fear. There is no fear in God. It is exciting when we are fully in submission to God and living in faith.

Pray these days for Vietnamese believers who are walking in faith for God to fully remind them He is a faithful God. All for His glory. #pray4vietnam

Statues for sale that will serve as idols to bow d Statues for sale that will serve as idols to bow down, burn incense to, and offer prayers to in homes and businesses bound by culture and tradition.

“O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God. Then they will learn that You alone are called the Lord, that You alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.” Psalms 83:1,18

Ask God to act and show Himself that Vietnamese will know the Most High God. #pray4vietnam
