Alak of Laos

Alak of Laos
The Alak have retained most of their customs and many women wear traditional dress. In the past, Alak women tattooed their faces, but this custom is now dying out. Alak society is traditionally matriarchal. The women lead the family, keep control of finances, and make all major decisions that affect the community. In times of sickness or calamity, or if a poor crop is produced, the Alak believe they have provoked the spirits and a ceremony is held in order to find the offended deity. A chicken is boiled and a shaman summoned to study the liver patterns and stomach of the chicken.
Ministry Obstacles
Scripture is not reported as available in the Alak language, but Gospel recordings are available.
Outreach Ideas
Pray for workers who will pray for the Alak, and who will take Gospel recordings to them and befriend them.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There may be a tiny number of Christians among the Alak. Pray they will increasingly meet together and encourage one another in Christ.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the Alak will have improved medical care available, and will learn improved farming practices.
Scripture Focus
"I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." Isaiah 49:6
