Characteristically, the Hakkas in Cambodia have been folk dentists, shoemakers or Chinese medicine merchants.
Today many Hakka families have started the popular noodle shops that line city streets in Cambodia. Hakka noodles, or Hakka Mee, are yellow noodles topped by minced chicken or pork and condiments. Hakka food is so delicious there are now Hakka Chinese restaurants dotting the West as well as East Asian countries.
The Hakka adhere to traditional Chinese religion. This can include aspects of Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Commonly they worship the spirits of their ancestors, believing these spirits can affect their future and their fortune. Therefore, they make offerings and build shrines and altars in their honor. The Hakka depend on spirit healers for some of their needs. They have been less receptive to the gospel than most other Han Chinese peoples.
The Hakka Chinese people in Cambodia need the chance to hear that Jesus Christ offers life to the full for those who will submit to his lordship.
Pray for the Lord to enable and thrust out loving workers to the Hakka Chinese in Cambodia.
Pray for the Hakka to have receptive hearts to the things of Christ.
Pray for Hakka church planters to train others to plant more churches and make disciples.
