Tai Pao in Vietnam
The Tai Pao are part of the Kadai cluster of languages and people groups. They live in a region that is home to more than 140 small tribes in Laos and Vietnam. The Tai Pao are earnest seekers, zealously striving to interpret dreams, soliciting the help of Buddhist monks and nuns, even consulting spirit mediums. Unfortunately, they are not seeking God. They are looking for something they consider much more valuable: lucky numbers. The lottery has captured their collective attention, motivating them to spend their energy and money trying to get rich quickly.
Ministry Obstacles
They practice a mixture of animism and Theravada Buddhism. Maintaining their culture is equally important as their religious beliefs. Sadly, the few Tai Pao who have been exposed to the gospel have not taken it seriously, as they feel that to become a Christian would be a disgrace against their heritage as Tai Pao.
Scripture Focus
"The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory." Psalm 97:6
Scripture Prayer
Pray that this will be the year when today’s nation sees His righteousness and glory.
Prayer Focus
Ask God to send workers who will communicate the unsurpassed greatness and supremacy of God and his Son.
Ask God to send the Tai Pao dreams and visions that will cause them to seek him, so they will not continue to be hidden away from the fragrance of Christ.
Pray for the eyes and hearts of the Tai Pao tribe to be turned away from superficial wealth and opened toward the glorious, eternal riches of Christ Jesus.
