Buddhism

Faithful Buddhists are very moral people, they are concerned with good behavior and in self sacrifice. They want to adhere to five principles, similar to the last half of the Ten Commandments.

1) Do not kill.

2) Do not steal.

3) Do not commit adultery.

4) Do not lie.

5) Do not take intoxicating drugs.

But a key difference is that Buddhists have only their own will power, their own force of will to make and to keep them good. In contrast, the Christian calls for power outside of himself via the Holy Spirit. This outside force to the Christian is a force of superhuman quality and quantity. It is the power of God unto salvation.

There are close to a billion Buddhists in the world, and they are locked in a mindset of never ending life cycles till they can perform good enough to reach a higher state of existence. They are lost and do not know the path to salvation.


Pray that a spark can ignite the Buddhist world for Christ.

Pray

Our missionary group has been under steady attack with sickness since we came. But today two videographers enter a location extremely hostile to the Gospel in southern Cambodia.

Please pray for the safety of this small insurgent group as they head south for some specific video, and then return. There was an I--S (religious group regularly in the news) bombing here in Phnom Penh the other day, and our team is pushing deep into the territory of this religious mind set. The church planter there is concerned of being forced out of his village any day, and he thinks there will be more trouble after a convert is baptized in April.

We face danger in many forms as we go through life. But when you are a missionary, you are on God's errands, telling God's story. Prayer can make a difference, so please pray extra over the next 48 hrs.

Update: PTL, the team has returned with no trouble or uprisings. They kept a low profile, while getting video on that area. They have returned to Phnom Penh with lots of footage and experiences, but no problems or hostilities. Thank you so much for your prayers!

What is safety worth when God has a job for you to do?

Pray with us for a spark!
