Praying for Buddhists

There are 7.8 billion people on this planet. Only 2.6 billion of them are Christians. We will consider blog post by blog post ways to pray for the remaining 5.2 billion people on the planet. 

There are 400 million Buddhists in the world. Today, we are going to focus on praying for them. 

Pray for Buddhists to encounter Christ through dreams, visions, and conversations.

Pray for Christians to engage in respectful dialogue with Buddhists, where questions can be asked, considered, and answered.

Pray for Buddhists to encounter and study Christian resources, such as radio stations, books, and other media.

Each year, there is a prayer guide called 15 Days of Prayer for the Buddhist World. This is a great resource for those who don't know what to pray for Buddhists.

As Christians, we believe there is only one way to heaven, namely through faith in Jesus Christ, so we ought to be interceding for those who do not accept Him as Savior and Lord. More than praying for Buddhists to become Christians, we ought to also be sharing the Good News with them, building friendships with them, and walking alongside them as we show them who Jesus is.
