Eurasians, a minority people group in various parts of Asia and Europe, are the descendants of the original Portuguese, British, and Dutch settlers who came with the colonial rulers of the early centuries. These settlers married native women and created a mixed race known as Eurasian, a term used by the British around 1820 to label people with a mix of European and Asian blood.
Eurasians don't have one particular culture. They try to fit in with the local population, but they are accepted in some countries more than others.
In many Eurasian homes, certain rituals must be followed when a death occurs. For instance, they maintain that the spirit of the deceased remains in the house for several days. Thus, on the seventh day, a vigil is kept until midnight, at which time the spirit would give some sign of its departure before leaving the house. Some families leave a favorite beverage for the departing spirit. Although many of their beliefs are rooted in Christian traditions, few relate to a personal faith relationship with Jesus Christ.
In South Korea, most Eurasians are Christian. Their degree of faith in Christ varies by individual.
Eurasians sometimes feel rejected and have low self-esteem. They need to experience the acceptance and love of God the Father.
Pray that Eurasians in South Korea will find the love and acceptance they need to thrive spiritually and experience joy and wholeness.
Pray for Eurasians to have a true desire to find spiritual truth and a relationship with the living God.
Pray that soon, Eurasians will become Christ's ambassadors to Muslims and Buddhists throughout Asia.
