Buddhist #5
Study
Read Revelation 7:9–10
- Take 30 seconds and visualize a worship service in heaven with billions of people from every people group.
Describe what you just saw?
- Now imagine during that worship service, you are approached by a formerly Buddhist couple. They walk up to you, hug you deeply, and say, "We are here because you partnered with them." They point to a missionary couple you prayed for and financially supported.
Describe the emotion of that experience.
Watch
Love Yeu Vietnam (2:05)
- "Of the 80 million ethnic Vietnamese, only 0.6% follow Jesus."
To put this in perspective, it takes 2% for there to be enough believers for a particular people group to evangelize itself. They are 15 million short! What can you do to raise 15 million Vietnamese Christians?

Why Reach Internationals (6:23)
- "In the future, foreigners who do not belong to Your people Israel will hear of You. They will come from distant lands when they hear of Your great name and Your strong hand and Your powerful arm...in this way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear You. (2 Chronicles 6:32–33 NLT)
"It is strategic to reach international students [in the U.S.] because they are more open to the gospel here than they are in their home country.” Why is this the case?
