There is a Buddhist family in one of our apartment complexes that has been experiencing a heightening of spiritual turmoil over the past few months. Three of the five children living at home (sixth grown and out of state) are believers: Kyaw (11, boy), Mah Pah (9, girl), and Tin Tin (5, girl).
Father, Aung, is alcoholic and close to death with impending liver failure. He has expressed belief in the gospel but refuses to go against his wife, Mu Gay's, decision that they remain Buddhist. In their culture, the wife makes the religious decisions for the family.
Kyaw was the first to believe when the Keystone team began working in Houston and, even though he is young, he has already proven to be a strong spiritual leader among his peers. God has made it clear to us that he is a key person of peace both now and in the future wherever God may take him. However, because of the spiritual turmoil in his family Kyaw has been struggling deeply.
1. Please pray especially for Kyaw:
- for spiritual protection and breaking down strongholds
- against the dark and heavy spiritual influences in his home,
- and that these will be replaced with the Spirit of peace and
submission to the Lord.
2. Pray also for Mah Pah, who is similarly affected by these issues.
3. Pray for Tin Tin, who has only recently decided to follow Jesus - that the seed sown in her will be protected from the evil one who is seeking to pluck it up.
4. Pray for father, Aung, and mother, Mu Gay, whose refusal to follow Christ keeps their family bound in this spiritual oppression.
5. Pray for the members of our team who are invested in ministry and discipleship with this family, for wisdom and clear direction in the Spirit.
As you pray, remember that because of Christ, your prayers are powerful and effective:
"For though we walk according to the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds."
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
