While passing through a remote Akha village, we saw that they had a cross in the village, a church and an altar to Mary. I don’t know what their understanding of the Gospel is but they described themselves as followers of ‘the Jesus way’ and said there were several other Akha villages in the surrounding area that are no longer following the spirits.
Pray for them to have a real understanding of the Gospel and for them to plant churches in other Akha areas.
