Red light – stop and the gate goes down anticipa Red light – stop and the gate goes down anticipating a train coming down the track, blocking traffic from proceeding. 

Sometimes we have roadblocks in our life, and we do not
know the reason why.

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were prevented from preaching
God's Word in the province of Asia because the Holy Spirit had blocked them. Twice, they were not allowed to go in the direction they thought they would be heading.

“Next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia
and Galatia because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in Asia. And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.” Acts 16:6-7

If you find yourself at a God-ordained roadblock, trust
God's plan and His guidance. Honor Him and give Him praise for being the provider, protector, and way-maker.

Pray for Vietnamese Believers to trust in God's plan and to
be courageous because He has conquered the world (John 16:33). #pray4vietnam

Lots of hats. Hats to shelter you from the bright Lots of hats. Hats to shelter you from the bright sun with a
with a wide brim and hats for protection on the road in case of an accident are found at this small shop. 

We look to God as the Psalmist reminds us, “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.” Psalms 91:1-2

As the world trembles with earthquakes, unpredictable
weather, and catastrophic disease, our only hope is in the Most High God. 

Pray for Vietnamese to look to Him to find salvation from
their troubles and His gift of life with Him forever. #pray4vietnam

The morning rush is finished. Coffee for a little The morning rush is finished. Coffee for a little more than 50 cents and milk tea for less than $1 means there needs to be a good number of customers and cups sold to earn enough money. Thousands of drink sellers open early in the morning in hopes to make a living for themselves and their families. 

Jesus tells a parable from Matthew 20 about the vineyard workers. Workers are hired from early morning through the end of the work day. When wages were paid, workers hired last and for a short time received a day's wage. Those that were hired first in the morning also received the same wage and were upset. But the owner kept his deal with them to pay them for their agreed wage. The owner wanted to be generous to those hired late, not to slight those workers who had been there all day.

In God's divinity, He chooses the blessings and mercy we receive in ways that we might not understand. 

Our challenge is to focus not on what we perceive to be 'fair' but instead on developing a personal relationship with God that makes us thankful for every gift we receive.

Pray for Vietnamese to grow their relationship with God by reading His word and obeying as He directs. Ask for their hearts to be full of thankfulness for all His gifts. #pray4vietnam

It's a cold business to cut up ice. Big blocks of It's a cold business to cut up ice. Big blocks of ice and a band saw to cut into cubes provide ice to neighboring drink shops.

In the book of Luke, a religious expert tests Jesus by asking Him how he could inherit eternal life. Jesus knew the man's heart and challenged his definition of neighbor in the parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:30-37.

Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Is that only our geographic neighbor? There are 21-plus districts in Ho Chi Minh City. Pray for these areas that believers would love neighbors and show God's love. Your prayer makes the difference. #pray4vietnam

A surprise encounter down a quiet street with colo A surprise encounter down a quiet street with color and beauty to celebrate International Women's Day is not unlike Jesus' meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob found in John 4.

Jesus tired from his travels sat beside the well when He had the opportunity to talk with the woman of Samaria. Questions were asked and intriguing replies ended with the woman hurrying off to tell others in her town about Jesus. Those who heard her story, came quickly to meet Jesus.

“Many believed because of His word. They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.” John 4:41

Tell your story about Jesus.

Pray for those who have recently heard the testimony of Jesus from other believers; ask God to bring belief and even more people to the knowledge that Jesus is indeed the Savior of the world. #pray4vietnam

Innovative and entrepreneurial businesses take pla Innovative and entrepreneurial businesses take place on the sidewalk along the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. With little capital and makeshift furniture at times, a drink or food cart can be opened for customers. 

With a median age of 32 years, there are lots of opportunities for fresh, new ideas to be accepted.

“A farmer went out to plant some seeds. Some seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. As for seeds planted on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed produces a harvest.” Matthew 13:3, 8, 23

Pray for those working with entrepreneurs and young professionals to discover those willing to receive the new seeds of God, to understand and yield a harvest for God's glory. #pray4vietnam

Bracelets and amulets to ward off ghosts are sold Bracelets and amulets to ward off ghosts are sold in the market, all year long and especially at the new year.

God Almighty is more powerful than ghosts. We only need to seek Him out for protection.

Someone may say to you, "Let's ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do." But shouldn't people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead? Isaiah 8:19

Pray for Vietnamese under the bondage of fear to find the True God of peace and protection. #pray4vietnam

Dinh is an ordinary Vietnamese who works several j Dinh is an ordinary Vietnamese who works several jobs including Shepherding a small group that studies the Bible and worships the One True God. He follows the two greatest commandments of loving God and loving others.

Although serving others makes him happy, he would much prefer to satisfy his own needs and desires. His sacrifice is a gift to God of love that he knows is right.

“Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself.'” Matthew 22:37-39

Pray for Dinh that God would bless him with provisions and give him a vision for doing more in the future. #pray4vietnam
