The beginning of November marks the main Buddhist festival of the year. The That Luang stupa is the national symbol of Laos.

• Pray that as many people come to make offerings they will be convicted of the emptiness of their actions and come to know the one true and living God.

• Pray for Lao Christians to be burdened to pray for their nation especially at key times like this.

• Ask for safety as in the past there have been bombs, thefts and many road accidents.
