Yi (Nisu) Quick Facts:
-Population over 1,000,000
-Live mostly in mountainous, hard to  reach villages in the Central and  Southern Yunnan Province of China
-Animism, Ancestor Worship and  Buddhism are the main religions

The Nisu believe that they have 3 souls in their body.  When they die one stays in the grave, one stays in the home and the last one travels to the land of the ancestors.  This land is not a place that the Nisu like to talk about.  There is much still unknown about what they believe about the land of the ancestors but it does not seem like a "positive" or peaceful place to go.

Having the hope that we do in Christ, the Man who conquered sin and death, we are compelled to tell them of God's unspoiled purpose.  His purpose, like at the beginning of creation, is in having an ETERNAL relationship with the people He created.  The Nisu need to hear of the great work that Jesus their Creator did for them on the cross.
