Akha, Tchitcho of Laos

Akha, Tchitcho of Laos The Tchitcho Akha are considered one of the most distinct of the Akha groups in Laos. Even though the Pouly Akha are near neighbors, one researcher claims, "They are different classes of ethnic groups. Pouly and Tchitcho have little in common and no contact or affinity with each other." An Akha wedding is marked with great festivities, feasting, and alcohol consumption. Divorce among Akha couples is unfortunately high. For generations they have tilled their fields and gone about their daily tasks, completely unaware of the presence of Christianity or the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Ministry Obstacles There is much spiritual darkness among the Ahka people, but the light of the Gospel can overcome it. Outreach Ideas Pray that indigenous Laotian Christians will be led to the Akha groups and will be successful in planting healthy, vigorous churches among them. Pray for the followers of Christ There are probably no followers of Jesus Christ today among the Tchitcho people of Laos. However, please pray for those who will one day come to saving faith. They will need our prayers. Pray for the entire people group Pray the Lord will begin to stir the hearts of these people to want to know the creator God, the one who loves them and has provided the way of redemption for them.
