The 680,000 Northern Hua Miao have traditionally been resistant to the gospel.   There are few known Christians among them.   And tools for getting the gospel to them are quite limited.   What portions of Scripture exist are little used; there is no New Testament or full Bible translation.   Christian radio programming is unavailable to them.

 

Current focus is to develop  materials for the Black Hmong—a subset of the Northern Hua represented by at least 3 distinct dialects.   Key leaders will be spending coming weeks on focused language learning.

 

A Black Hmong writing system needs to be devised and literacy training developed.   In addition, a goal for this year is to prepare radio programming in Black Hmong.   To do all this, a good team of dedicated workers must be forged.

 

Pray:

• Heavenly Father, knowing Your great love for the Northern Hua, we pray that you will break down barriers to their receptivity to the gospel.   Cause a great movement of Northern Hua to Christ.
• Put together a team which is passionate for You and for the unreached Northern Hua; call forth team members including a linguist and those skilled to help with radio programming,
• Advance the development of long-term relationships in key areas where the Northern Hua live.   Lead Christians to men of peace who can become key evangelists to reach their own people.   Cause government leaders to look with favor on Your servants working with the Northern Hua.
• Give those who are learning the Black Hmong language unusual aptitude as they study in coming weeks.
• Protect families of those who are working among the Hmong from ways Satan would try to hinder ministry; particularly protect their children spiritually, emotionally, physically.
