Zhaba of China

 
Zhaba of China
The Zhaba are counted as part of the Tibetan nationality, although they speak a Qiangic language. Sexual promiscuity has long been rife among the Zhaba. They worship a wide variety of demons and ghosts. These influences date back to the pre-Buddhist Tibetan religion of Bon. They believe large demons live inside mountains, and so they offer frequent sacrifices to appease them. There are no known Christians among the Zhaba, although there are a few Tibetan Catholics farther west near Litang.
Ministry Obstacles
The Zhaba have been in bondage to evil spiritual forces for many generations. These bonds are not easily broken.
Outreach Ideas
Workers need to find ways to assist these people with their material and physical needs, as well as with spiritual needs.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Even though there are no known followers of Jesus among the Zhaba people today, pray that the Spirit of God would be even now preparing the people to receive the gospel with gladness.
Pray for the entire people group
The Zhaba lead hard lives. Workers seeking to reach them will need to help them physically and not just spiritually. Pray for greatly improved living conditions for the Zhaba.
Scripture Focus
"Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me." Matthew 25:40
