A call to unite in intercession for the salvation of the Buddhist world
Southeast Asia is home to one third of the world's 535 million Buddhists. In September 2025, many of them will celebrate a sacred day in their religious calendar known as Ullambana—loosely translated as "deliverance from suffering." Buddhists believe that spirits are released from the underworld on this day, and they mark it by honoring their parents and showing gratitude to the monastic community in the hope of earning merit to secure a better afterlife for themselves and their deceased ancestors.
On Friday, September 5, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. ET, join us for an online prayer event focused on the Buddhist world. Hear mission reports from Southeast Asia and unite in praying that Buddhists everywhere will come to know Jesus as the only One who can deliver them from sin and suffering.
