The story of a Miao gang
member named Kai-li is
recounted in the recently
published book,
Voices of
the Faithful: Inspiring
Stories of Courage from
Christians Serving Around
the World. (Integrity
Press, 2005, p. 118)
Like millions of other Miao/Hmong
Kai-li worshipped ancestors
and spent his life fearing
evil spirits. Like them,
he had never heard of Jesus.
Dreaming one night, he saw a
cross lying by a river. As
he picked it up, light
streamed from heaven, and
Kai-li danced with joy in
the light. When his
roommate came home the next
day bearing a cross, Kai-li
was sure his friend had
found it by the river. He
had!
Some nights later Kai-li had
another dream in which an
angel knocked on his door to
tell him what the cross
stood for. Shortly after
the second dream, a tall
foreigner knocked on his
door. Upon seeing the
stranger, Kai-li
immediately asked to be told
the message of the cross.
Hearing of Jesus from the
stranger, Kai-li gave his
life to Christ.
Subsequently he has led many
of his former gang members
to the Lord.
Pray:
- Thank You, Lord, that
You are at work among
the Hmong/Miao, that in
Your compassionate
faithfulness You draw
them to Yourself.
- Father, some of the
harvest is rotting
because there are not
enough workers to tell
the message of the
cross. Plant deep love
and inescapable burden
for the Hmong in the
hearts of those who
should be part of this
ministry. Help them to
respond quickly and
eagerly to Your call.
Logistically clear the
way before them so that
they can join the
harvest speedily.
- Penetrate the deep
spiritual darkness over
the Hmong; let Your
glory appear among them
until tens of thousands
come to You
