Praise Weapon
“I have a refreshed sense of ‘God is on the throne’. I had lost my sense of proportion and I had allowed the Buddhist idols to become too large and too powerful in my mind. Can you understand that? The Lord has graciously shown me that He has a way through all our difficulties, the compass point is always Jesus Christ, and that praise is a very real weapon in the spiritual armor God gives us. I had been thinking of the armor of Ephesians 6 defensively and I had not realized so clearly before that we have an offensive weapon: our praise and worship of the living God.” - A Mekong worker

• Pray Mekong workers will a fresh focus and love for our God.
• Pray Mekong workers will faithfully and effectively use our ‘praise weapon’.

Boueyi
“Two patients stood out, both Bouyei women. One presented with infertility.  Infertile women are among the most miserable of Bouyei patients since a woman is considered worthless if she cannot bear a son.  This woman, not lifting her head to look me in the eye, told me that her mother-in-law wanted her husband to divorce her if she did not conceive soon.  The second patient was a woman with serious kidney disease for the past 3 years. Because of her illness, her husband left her.  Her only child dropped out of school at age 11.

Mrs. WF, her husband and her mother were baptized last Saturday, along with 4 others. It was a very joyful occasion. Mrs. WF’s mother has been doing great the past two months and has not been bothered by the spirits.  She collects trash every day and says she feels healthier than she has in years.”
–Mekong Boueyi worker

• Many Boueyi who have moved to the cities work collecting trash and live in very crowded and dirty conditions. Many are sick. Most do not yet know Jesus.
• There are a few small home groups of believers. Pray for their growth and fruitfulness and protection.

Kinh
“There's a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City called 'Yesterday'. But if you look carefully at the menu, you'll see that the Vietnamese translation reads 'Ngay Mai', which means 'tomorrow'. When I asked the owner why this was, he remarked, 'You foreigners are always talking about yesterday. You say, "Do you remember when...?" Here in Vietnam people have forgotten about yesterday. The only thing they care about is tomorrow.' Young people are keen to do something new, to learn something, to be something. The previous generation seems to have known nothing but war and poverty. But young people today have hope. They want to achieve something, anything.” – Mekong Kinh worker

• Pray for the young people of Vietnam, that their curiosity and their enthusiasm to try new things will lead to an encounter with Christ, on whom alone true hope is founded.

Pray for more workers for the Kinh – a mega people group needing to know The Way, The Truth and The Life. There are about 70 million ethnic Kinh people in Vietnam but the current Mekong Kinh team is only 7 adults.
