The Global Day of Prayer for Buddhist Families is the first of the Four Global Days of Prayer, uniting believers from across the world to intercede for the 110 Cities and for the millions of Buddhists who have yet to encounter Jesus, the Deliverer. This initiative coincides with Lunar New Year, a time when Buddhists seek peace, prosperity, and renewal. Lunar New Year traditions originally stem from the belief in fending off the spirit Xi, a creature thought to bring destruction. Families placed meat at their doors and hid, hoping for protection. Though customs have evolved, the longing for peace and protection remains. Just as the Israelites marked their doors with lamb’s blood at Passover, we pray that as Buddhists seek protection and blessing, they encounter Christ, the Lamb of God, whose blood brings true peace and deliverance.
