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

So much of a western world view is based upon having a Creator God.  Most of the Nisu areas do not believe in a creator.  But in a recent trip to a certain dialect area we began to ask questions about their beliefs.  We asked about their festivals and other cultural questions. 

 

Well, it turns out that there most important and biggest festival of the year is in honor of a “creator”.  We were so excited to hear this.  As it turns out, in this area, they believe that a “man” created the first man and woman and creation.  What an incredible bridge in their culture to introduce them to the Son of Man Jesus Christ!!  He is the true creator…All things were made through Him…John 1:3.
