During both French colonial days and the days of America’s Vietnam War, there were unions between men and Vietnamese women. These unions produced “Eurasians” a term coined by the British around 1820 to label people with a mix of European and Asian blood. During French colonial days they were given preferential treatment for civil service jobs and higher education. They identified with French culture. When the French were driven out in 1954, the Eurasians who remained were resented by the Vietnamese. A number of them were removed from Vietnam, often called “orphans” and given new lives in France.
In Vietnam, they are not well-accepted by the majority people; thus, they are a separate people group. In France, it is common for people to be mixed race, so they find more acceptance there.
Most Eurasians in France are Roman Catholic, but some are either Buddhist or secular.
Eurasians need a sense of identity. Jesus can be their identity and give them a sense of acceptance and love that they lack.
Pray that Eurasians in France 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 for the Holy Spirit to transform the Catholic Church in France.
Scripture Prayers for the Eurasian in France.
