Why is Vietnam on the 2022 World
Watch List?
The
level of persecution stayed largely the same in Vietnam during the 2022 World
Watch List reporting period. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect all residents
of the country, and some Christians in rural areas reported discrimination in
government pandemic assistance. Ethnic minority Christians still face violence and
social consequences when they convert to Christianity, and the Vietnamese
church remains under pressure throughout the country.
What is life like for Christians?
The
level of persecution Vietnamese Christians experience may depend on their
denomination or background. Historical Christian communities (like Roman
Catholic churches) enjoy a certain amount of freedom. But evangelical and charismatic
Protestants—along with converts from indigenous religions—often face intense
pressure and violence for their faith, especially in the remote areas of
central and northern Vietnam. Christians are harassed in the workplace and may
face discrimination for their faith, while Christian children are ostracized at
school and may be pressured to reject their faith.
Vietnamese law guarantees freedom of religion — but
also heavily restricts what “freedom” means.
Where is God at work in Vietnam?
“Poh”
is a Hmong believer from Vietnam. He was attacked by his father for boldly
proclaiming his faith, and he and his family were forced to leave his village. Finances are hard, and his family
still rejects him. But God has begun a good work in Poh’s life. Thanks to your
prayers and support, Open Doors local partners were able to buy a piece of land
where Poh built a new home for his family. “Despite these challenges, I am now
serving the Lord,” he says. “I am now a full-time church worker. The Lord has
also blessed us with another baby last year.” God is raising up His workers in
Vietnam.
How can I pray with Christians in
Vietnam?
Day
1: Pray for Christians in Vietnam who suffer persecution, especially those from
ethnic minorities.
Day
2: Pray for wisdom and strength for our ministry partners, and for the hearts
of all Christians who will benefit from ministry efforts.
Day
3: Pray for Christians who lose their families and homes, that they would feel
the reality that God has given them a global family of believers who prays for
them.
Day
4: Pray for the government of Vietnam, both local and national.
Day
5: Ask God to protect Christians who follow Jesus in places where doing so is
seen as a betrayal of culture and family.
Day
6: Pray for new projects planned by Open Doors partners in Vietnam.
Day
7: Pray for Christians who have experienced discrimination in COVID-19 relief.
Ask God to protect and strengthen them.
