Xayaboury, Laos

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Xayaboury.

1. Pray for each person who will sit under the pictured shelter today to also find a place of rest in the Savior’s open arms.

2. Xayaboury has a Buddhist temple that is five hundred years old. Pray for someone who goes there often looking for meaning behind the sufferings of this world to be introduced to the only One Who truly has those answers.

3. The national musical instrument of Laos is the khene. (Hear it played at https://youtu.be/rpmn_gdL6yg) Pray that a khene player in Xayaboury will become a Christian, and that salvation’s song will flow out of his heart through his khene, touching others for the glory of God.
