A Prayer a Day for East Asian Peoples

Buddhism arrived in Korea in AD 372 and still claims many adherents today. In opposition to the Bible, this traditional Asian religion teaches that humans are responsible for attaining their own salvation and can do so through Buddhist practices. God has revealed to us that we can only be saved through faith in Jesus Christ, not a result of any works or good deeds we perform. Unfortunately, Buddhism has been very influential upon Korean culture and there are thousands of Buddhist temples throughout the land.

Pray God will open the hearts of Buddhists in Korea to hear and obey the gospel. Pray the work of Satan will be crushed and that Koreans who claim Buddhism will instead claim Christianity by the time of the next national census. Rejoice that the Lord is calling people out of Buddhism and into his light!
