Saigon has a population of over 10 million people Saigon has a population of over 10 million people and 10 million names. That's a lot.

Scripture speaks of God knowing us by detail and especially by name. Speaking a person's name adds a personal touch in communication. The names we bother to learn can reveal a lot about our level of respect and compassion for people.

“I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace be with you. The friends send you greetings. Greet each person by name.” 3 John 14

The writer, John, from this book cared enough to greet ‘each' person by name. 

In our daily work, we meet and pass by many people. We communicate with each of them through our interaction. Ask God, who knows each person by name, to help Vietnamese respect and value those they come in contact with as His precious children. #pray4vietnam

Ha sets up on the sidewalk selling young coconuts Ha sets up on the sidewalk selling young coconuts to quench thirsts of customers passing by on hot days. More people are likely to buy from her if she makes eye contact and smiles. Our actions can have a great impact on people each day. 

“And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” 
Colossians 3:17 and later in verse 23, “Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men”

Our task is to do our work wholeheartedly as if we were working for Jesus. If we are Christ-followers, how we treat others and how diligently and faithfully we do our work reflects on our Lord.

Jesus, show me how to honor You in my work today. Amen. Pray for Vietnamese to do their day's work in pursuit of goals that honor God. #pray4vietnam

Delivery drivers in Saigon search their phone apps Delivery drivers in Saigon search their phone apps to vie for the next work order. Our workplaces offer unlimited opportunities for selfish ambition---but God desires us to strive for the direct opposite. 

1 Corinthians 3:9, Paul writes, "For we are God's fellow workers...." we have a part and God has a part. We can't do God's part and God has chosen not to do our part. We are privileged to be invited into the work God is doing.

Ask the Holy Spirit to enable Vietnamese believers to speak God's truth to colleagues and be about activities that would offer introductions to God to fellow workers.

Jesus, in my work today, let my thoughts be on how you would react and let my actions follow. When opportunities arise to share Your faithfulness in my life, let words give you credit and glory. #pray4vietnam

Xanh multi-tasks watching over several pots and pa Xanh multi-tasks watching over several pots and pans to serve her customers ban xeo, a savory dish somewhere between a crepe and an omelet made with rice flour and coconut milk.

At the beginning of the chapter in Acts 6, concern over widows receiving food was increasing. Verse 3 records that a group of men were appointed to take care of food distribution. "Therefore, brothers, selection from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we can appoint to this duty.

Every day, someone feels unseen, overlooked, though we are looking right at them. Ask God to open eyes to see what He sees and for us to respond with His Spirit and wisdom. Pray for unbelieving Vietnamese to know God sees them. #pray4vietnam

In the New Testament, Paul wrote to Timothy as an In the New Testament, Paul wrote to Timothy as an encouragement to the young church leader to better help him understand his duties.

2 Timothy 4:5 - "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."

In our world, darkness is a temptation and distraction to many. What seems like good is really not.

You have seen and heard it, and sometimes it passes over without a struggle. Pray right now for clear understanding and victory in lives that are being led away from what is True. Ask God to make His presence known as the One True God. #pray4vietnam

Labor continues on restoring Notre Dame Cathedral Labor continues on restoring Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon. 

In the Book of Nehemiah (chapter 2:7-8) Nehemiah faced a building project that would require resources far above what he had, and because he had planned ahead to know what preparations would be needed, he was able to ask the king and his requests were granted.
 
Costs in time and money must be considered for projects.

Jesus said, “For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down, and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?” Luke 14:28

Praise God for His provisions for projects beginning in the next few weeks. Pray for Vietnamese Believers to be committed to see several projects to the finish. #pray4vietnam

Loc works in the evening time selling drinks to br Loc works in the evening time selling drinks to bring in additional monies for her children and husband. Mother's Day is days away and thanks be to God for mothers who work long and tireless hours for the good of their family. [second photo - Cảm ơn Mẹ = Thank you Mom]

The book of Judges from the Old Testament recognizes a woman judge named Deborah. She was known as a supreme commander by military hierarchy. Her governance was so good that “the land had rest for forty years” Judges 5:31, a rare occurrence at any point in Israel's history.

"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of the rest, ---yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." 1 Corinthians 15:10

Praise God for His ever-present strength in mother's hearts to care and especially lead their families according to His will. Pray for Vietnamese mothers to be encouraged and blessed. #pray4vietnam

In the Old Testament, the book of Joshua records c In the Old Testament, the book of Joshua records celebrating the Passover in chapter 5 with produce from the land they worked in Canaan. The very next day, the manna that God had provided to the Israelites for the previous 40 years stopped. No more free food.

God had no intention of making the divine gift of manna a permanent solution to the problem of provision. The land was to be worked.

While God may provide miraculously at times for our physical needs, the norm is for us to subsist on the fruit of our labors.

1 Corinthians 15:51 - The apostle Paul exhorted the believers in Corinth, "Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

Where are you called to produce? What ‘land' do you need to work? 

Thank you, God, for miraculous provisions, thank you for our daily food and work that you give us. Meet needs of Vietnamese Believers that they may know you are the God of provision as they work. #pray4vietnam
