Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, lies in southern Vietnam along the Siagon River and north of the Mekong River. During the 1800s when the French controlled Vietnam, the city became a major port city and metropolitan center. When the Viet Minh group declared independence for Vietnam under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh in the north, a riot broke out in the city of Saigon. French troops regained control, beginning the first French Indochina War.
Our Father in heaven, We confess that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation, to the Jew, to the Greek, and to the peoples of Vietnam. We ask that you might open the hearts of many Vietnamese who have never heard of Jesus so that they might repent and believe. Have mercy on the peoples of Vietnam, and turn rebels into servants of the Most High God. May these precious people look in faith to the Lord Jesus and receive the free gift of eternal life. How we long to hear of their conversion!
The Viet-Kinh people group is the largest group in Vietnam, making up 86 percent of the population. Though they have many Christian resources in the Vietnamese language, they are still considered to be unreached with the gospel. Only about 1.2 percent of the over 78 million Viet-Kinh are followers of Christ.
