Psalm 63:8- "my soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me."

Noi and his family have lived along the main road into town for as long as his parents can remember. However, with the government trying to better the provincial infrastructure, his family finds themselves in a very difficult place. Their good land used to be sufficient to produce enough rice per year to meet the needs of the family. Now it hardly produces enough for 8 months, as road construction has taken up 1/3 of their land. How can the family make enough to survive each year, when they have no other skills except growing agricultural products and selling them locally?

Today, the Tai Dam in Vietnam again find themselves on the move. This time however, it is not politically motivated, but rather economic. Finding their land plots becoming smaller and smaller, jobs hard to find, and the needs of the family pressing on them, they are searching further and further to find work. Up to 100 Tai Dam have been accepted as laborers in Malaysia and other countries, where they work in construction sites and factories. It is a great sadness that these people have to leave home, but at the same time, God is using it! A harvest is being reaped as these Tai Dam hear the Good News for the first time.

Please pray:
1. That God would use the different situations where the Tai Dam live to expose them to the Good News.

2. That those who do believe in Christ in these other countries can be discipled and will develop a burden to take the Good News back to their people in Vietnam.
