Prayer Point

Pray for the nearly 50 million Hakka in China and Taiwan whose religion is a blend of Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism and ancestor worship. Motivated mainly by fear and superstition, they will do anything in any religious context, as long as it wards off bad luck or improves their lot in life.
