Eternal Father, we pray with “Ming (明)” for the underground house churches near Xi’an. You alone can grant them wisdom to worship You with strength and courage. According to Ephesians 1:17, we ask that You grant them spiritual insight, discernment, and clarity to shepherd faithfully. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I live in Ho Chi Minh City, the fast-beating heart of southern Vietnam — a city of constant motion, where the sound of motorbikes never seems to stop. Once known as Saigon, this place carries the weight of history and the drive of new ambition. The streets are lined with both temples and skyscrapers, and in between them, millions of people are chasing a better life.
Vietnam is a land shaped by deep history — war, division, and now rapid growth. Our country has been through so much pain, yet we are resilient and proud. From the misty highlands of ethnic minorities to the bustling lowlands of the Vietnamese majority, we are a people of strong family ties, honor, and hard work. But I can see that even in all this progress, our hearts still long for something that success cannot fill.
In Ho Chi Minh City, faith in Jesus often grows quietly. The Church gathers in homes, coffee shops, and small rented spaces — worshiping with joy that no one can silence. We pray for unity in our land, not just between north and south, but among all ethnic groups and generations. As our nation flourishes in business and development, we long for true prosperity — the kind that only comes when hearts are transformed by the love of Christ.
I believe God is writing a new story for Vietnam — one of redemption, unity, and revival — starting here in the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
Pray for ethnic minority groups in Vietnam’s highlands to encounter Jesus through local believers and translated Scripture. (Revelation 7:9)
