South Africa

The political change years ago the

people see life purpose as a 

community more than individuals.

Many South Africans see purpose 

into inner peace, hope and forgiveness.

This is a good Christian idea. 

Sharing these areas with others

is good. A way to use your purpose.

For several centuries Great Britain 

and United States would send 

missionaries to South Africa and

the other countries on the African 

Continent.  Earlier on  Catholics

would come to Africa to bring

the gospel to those they considered 

heathen or maybe not human. 

Later Protestants would come 

as missionaries too. Now that

 Christianity has grown  missionaries 

from South Africa have come 

to United States.   Not sure of

Great Britain or all of Europe they

are likely going there to.

A good reason over 85 percent

in South Africa consider themselves 

as  Christians. I am sure the highest 

percentage in the world so why they

are sending missionaries.

Zion Christian Church is the largest 

and being home grown.  The are

a large amount of pentacostal 

churches too.   The Catholic 

church is  number three

with 3. 1 million members however 

Zion has 5 million and Methodist 

has 3.3 million. The Dutch reformed 

has 3 million.  

Don't be surprised to meet a

South African in your county. 

We will get back to the different 

countries in their life purpose 

over time ahead. Your place 

in the world is important.

Indonesia

Indonesia is much like much of the

world these days where social 

connection is very important to

people in their life purpose. This

was God's intention from the 

beginning. God wants connections 

with us more than religion. Learning 

by connecting with others. 

Spirituality as well as gratitude are

important to the people of Indonesia.

Collective life together.

People there are low income compared

to the United States. They work in

services as well as mining and agriculture.

Travel to you will see the difference 

between the wealthy and the poor. 

The people will service you will.

As far as religion goes the country is

87 percent Muslim. Christianity is made 

up of just over 10 percent with protestant 

being 7.3 percent and Catholic just over

3 percent. 

Again like all countries pray that they

realize what their true life purpose is.

Finding Purpose Around the World

I appreciate so much that around 

twenty countries view my posts

on a regular basis. I believe this

is part of my life purpose for others

to know in other countries.

Being a Christian I hope that others

will find their way to Jesus Christ 

and find a greater purpose. 

Most countries the people we have 

seen community and caring for

one another is very important. 

I believe being a Christian that

community is important inside

the church however to reach outside

too. Not to push Christianity  however

to know it is more than a religion.

It is the relationship with the living

God which is the most important 

thing. That is his will for all mankind 

though he gives us free will.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

India

The life purpose in India has much

to do with their major religion in Hindu.

Dharma is what they call it which

has to do with duty and order. It

is important to help your fellow man.

Karma brings discipline and rhythm 

to help find life's answer. Since Hindu

makes up about 80 per day of the

population.  Christianity is around as

well as Islam which is the second 

largest religion. The tendency is for

people to enjoy one another even

if another faith. Though Islam is

number two religion in India there 

are almost nine times as many 

Hindus.  Christianity is number 

three however far behind the other

two. 

With so many people in India  the country 

is very poor averaging just under $3.10

a day per person. They have the 4th largest economy in the world. High tech is what 

drives the economy however agriculture 

is what most people are employed. 

Praying for those in India would be 

something in our purpose to do .

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Japan

In Japan the word " Ikigai"  means

a reason for living or the thing that

you live or.  That is a good way to

look at life purpose.

It comes down to the Japanese

that is what you love or what you

are good at. It can mean to what 

the world needs or what you can

make money at.

There are several areas with Ikigai

however harmony  and what you

ar gonna  e good at the top.  Japanese 

are a five through old age to.

Religion has to do with rituals 

for the most part. Most are Buddhist.

So culture is surrounded by it.

Being a Christian in Japan is small

and I am sure difficult to be one.

It means you really have a purpose 

outside yourself.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

Great Britain

Great Britain feels that their life 

purpose is much like the Netherlands.

It might be what central Europe is 

about.

The younger generations such

don't want to follow their parents. 

I expect they don't want to work

so many hours.

Christianity is still the major religion 

however it is declining. Religions

like Muslim and Buddhist are around.

Depending on the family and since 

Christianity is under fifty percent what

life purpose besides working less

and community people will decide on

it.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Netherlands

Though high quality of work

is important to those in the

Netherlands having time to

enjoy life is more important.

If you watched the last winter 

Olympics they are very good

in speed skating for the men

and women.

In the Netherlands the quality 

of life is good and the it is

easy to afford to live as well.

For the Netherlands they work

shorter hours with efficiency 

for quality work. This allows

less stress and enjoy the life.

Straight forwardness in talking

with others. Speak what you 

want in a manner so others don't 

have to guess.

Religion is not big and continues 

to decline. They believe in being

spiritual over religion. Though

Christianity plays a part other 

religions like Islam is practiced.

Taking a vacation to the Netherlands 

sounds like a good thing to do.

 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Look At Vietnam

The people of Vietnam consider the

family unit the most important purpose.

Caring for the elderly as well as one another.

Community like many countries is

important. The youth of Vietnam 

is looking at making choices.

Education is very important as well.

To increase life. 

Christianity has small amount of

 believers in Vietnam. About seven percent 

 Catholic and two percent protestant.

Most Protestants meet in house churches

which means small groups. 

Vietnam believes in freedom of religion 

however is suspicious of Christianity.

Pray that the people of Vietnam increase

in their life purpose. How they are directed

each day.  That business will thrive.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Continue To Encourage

I am leaning towards not spending as

much time on social media.

I believe that I have righteous anger

however I see so much on the social

media. I may look still what is on

social media however I am not to

comment unless it is to encourage

what is spoken as encouragement 

and gratitude.

I believe we all have better things

to do then spending hours on social

media.  If you do go on social media 

do it for a purpose that has love

and faith.  Do it for short periods.

Just a caution here. 

South Korea

The life purpose in South Korea is

much like Hong Kong where the

people have a lot of wealth though

there is competition as well. 

Social living is important to them as

well. Loyalty to one another whether 

in business or live in general.

The younger generation is looking

more joy in hobbies and those things

out of work.  The competitive edge 

is bringing stress they realize.  There

is good thought that way since we

do only live one life so why waste it.

Knowing your purpose very well will

help out a lot giving balance to

work and other sides of life. Knowing

what will fulfill you and not what others

may say.

About 50 percent of the people of Korea 

don't practice religion. Christianity and

Buddhism make up most of those who

religious. Seoul is primarily Christian 

while southeast is a lot Buddhism.

So culturally it will come down to the

relgions or not religious. People are

respectful for others in that way.  How

they work and family life will tell you

too.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Next up South Vietnam 

Hong Kong

The life purpose in Hong Kong is

to have financial stability at all 

times.  Hong Kong is now under

China however are not governed

by them. 

It is a lovely place to visit too. 

Living a long life is important 

to the people of Hong Kong.

Though No h Kong has a high

standard of living they still 

believe in the balance of work

and life in general. Culture is

such whatever you enjoy you 

can do as you please. This is

whether you live there or visiting.

About half of the people of Hong

Kong don't practice any religion.

There are many of the remaining 

who are Buddhist, Christian and

Muslim. There are a small amount 

of other religions. Hong Kong

believes the people to believe

as they want too. Schools though

are mainly run by Christians.

If you feel that your purpose is

share your spiritual life along 

with culture spending time in 

Hong Kong is a good.  Also

if you want to grow in the area 

of wealth. Enjoying their beaches

too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  Next up is South Korea 

Happy Easter

For many Christians Easter is more 

important than Christmas. It represents 

the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Children may celebrate Christmas more

however this is the more so for he rose

for the sins of the whole world. This was 

his life purpose.

Out purpose is to to follow his example

after accepting Jesus Christ as Lord

and Savior. Though we live we die to 

our earthly desires.  We love and give

to others as we want for others to do

for us like the Lord Prayer says.

May your life change today no matter 

how many times you celebrate Easter

or some Christians say Resurrection 

Day. May your life purpose get more

clear and focused.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Life Purpose In Russia

The people of Russia is quite interesting.

Although they have been communist for

a century or so they are looking at making

a choice on how they want to live and

their purpose. 

Having a career is important. Men want

to start a business while women it is

family and travel. Young men focus on

the business for their futures. Middle age

is to make it even better for their families.

Like most countries socializing is very

important to them. Those 50 and older

is maintaining financially and travel.

Most Russians it is important to be 

resilient during tough times and to

move if that is what they must do.

They look for purpose during the

hard times.  The goal is to have a

very good life. At least 50 percent

feel that way. Living in Moscow is

good if you have had a good education.

Every where else can be tough.

Russian Orthodox makes up 90 percent

of the countrie's religion. Catholic and

Protestant are less than one percent each.

Pray that the Russians can feel free even when times are tough.    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sunday lost will be about Easter.

Hong Kong will be on Monday.
