Muong in Vietnam
muhn

Until northern Vietnam's communist revolution in 1945, Muong social organization was aristocratic, and a headman had absolute authority in his jurisdiction. Since that time, the Muong community has undergone enormous changes. Their nation has been transformed from a feudalistic society into a socialistic one.

Ministry Obstacles
There has been little missionary work among the Muong, though they are a large people group. They practice their traditional ethnic religion which connects them to their ancestors. This is part of their identity as a people.

Outreach Ideas
There are strong believers in Vietnam who can take Christ to this people group. Some of them can help them with their physical needs, leading to an openness to hearing about the eternal blessings of Jesus Christ.

Scripture Focus
"I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name."  Revelation 3:8

Scripture Prayer
Pray for a wide-open door for the gospel to penetrate the culture of this people group.

Prayer Focus
Pray the few believers among the Muong would be united around the truth of Scripture and would lead holy lives, wanting to know and serve Jesus Christ. Pray for the gospel to spread from one family to the next, transforming them in beautiful ways. Pray the Muong community would increasingly hunger to know the creator God. Pray they would be able to live in peace and prosperity. Pray that the Muong would be able to embrace God's blessing through his Word for their families and communities.
