Shan Quick Facts:
-5-6 Million Shan in Myanmar, Thailand,  and China
-Speak a language related to Thai & Lao
-Most Shan are ardent Buddhists
-Missionaries began to reach the Shan in  1861

Among the Shan-Tai in China, Burma and Thailand, zealous Shan Christian workers are few and far between, like stars shining in a crooked and depraved generation. Burdened by a love that compels, long hours, very modest lifestyles and something inside them makes them persevere. They are Shan, but not "really Shan" in the eyes of their Buddhist relatives because "to be Shan is to be Buddhist".

Expatriate workers need, expect and get times of refreshing fellowship with other like minded believers. Pray that our Shan brothers and sisters would know deep and empowering fellowship with Jesus, and gain the true rest that they need.
