21 Days of Prayer | Day 21: Vietnamese Diaspora in Cambodia

Vietnamese Diaspora in Cambodia

Approximately 800,000 Vietnamese live in Cambodia—38.5% of whom are under 20. Most are undocumented migrants, materially poor, and many are illiterate or pre-literate.

As undocumented migrants, they face many struggles trying to find stable income and access to education. They experience hardship as an immigrant population embedded in an unwelcoming society.

Most practice a mix of Buddhism, animism, and ancestral worship. Only 0.17% of the Vietnamese in Cambodia are Evangelical Christians. There is a growing church presence in Phnom Penh and a few other areas, but there is little to no gospel access in most other regions of the country.

There are over 240,000 Vietnamese who call Canada home!

PRAY WITH US:

Father, thank you for those you have called and sent to work among the Vietnamese. Bless them with wisdom from above and encourage them daily. We pray that you would raise leaders from the local body of believers to serve. Bless and anoint those you have sent to preach among the Vietnamese. Would you remove every obstacle that stands in the way and bring down any strongholds rooted in religious traditions? Bless the Vietnamese with the ability to hear and believe so that many will call upon the name of the Lord and be saved! Amen.
