The new government is in place. Still the country is going through lots of challenges of high price rise, and shortage of food and necessary commodities. That has impacted life very much.

1. Current Spiritual Condition:
Vietnam is a Missional Gap of East Asia and Southeast Asia. Vietnamese people have a long tradition of worshiping ancestors, even animals and plants like in the mountains. People are also easily superstitious, unstable, have “no opinion”…etc. Recently, evil spirits have penetrated Vietnamese culture in many forms such as yoga, heresy, fortune-telling…etc. The people of God suffer much persecution. Many places they are not free to gather together.
Technology also dominates their focus with God. Many Christians have no priority and concern with spiritual multiplication. Please pray to God for them to realize that what they do is a lie from the devil. May God open the spiritual eyes, ears and minds of the Vietnamese people so that they can know sins and deception from the evil one. May God forgive the Vietnamese and help them know God's love. Pray that their hearts will soften and open with the Gospel.
2. Celebration:
Thank You, Lord, for seeing many Christian organizations and churches organize camps to renew hearts and callings, especially for young people. Christian leaders have been raised up. Ethnic groups have begun to be raised up to join the spiritual movement. Some disadvantaged areas have begun to have access to the Gospel through the Jesus Film Project and Digital Strategies. Believers are flexible in reaching out to friends and sharing the Gospel.
3. Looking forward:
a. Please pray that God will make the Vietnamese people's hearts softer and more open to the Gospel. We desire to see all 63 provinces have spiritual movements.
b. Please pray that young people catch a vision and call from God to participate in the harvest. That they would be touched and transformed by the Holy Spirit and step out by faith to share the Gospel.
c. Please pray that leaders of Christian organizations and denominations would be united together, with the same mind for the kingdom of God, partnership, supporting each other in discipleship and prayer. That many pioneer Christians would be ready to come to help with the Missional Gap in Vietnam.
