Prayer:

  1. Pray for peace and justice to reign in an impoverished land whose ethnically diverse peoples have suffered greatly. 
  2. Pray for effective evangelism that would penetrate the hearts of a staunchly Buddhist majority.
  3. Pray for those believers who face tremendous harassment and persecution for their Christian faith.
