Lamet, Khamet of Laos

Lamet, Khamet of Laos
The Lamet have retained their customs and traditional dress and have not allowed themselves to be assimilated by other ethnic groups in the area. Their villages are not easily entered and visitors are not always welcomed. For several years after a wedding the couple lives with the wife's relatives. Only after 3-4 years are the couple allowed to start their own home. The Lamet build a house to accommodate the spirits they believe control their lives. The spirit house is positioned in the center of the village.
Ministry Obstacles
Visitors to this tribe may be viewed with suspicion and hostility, and spiritual opposition can be expected.
Outreach Ideas
Perhaps people who know how to tell stories from scripture will be able to win the trust of this tribe and communicate the good news of Jesus to them. Gospel recordings are also available.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Please pray for the few followers of Jesus among the Lamet tribe, that they will completely forsake honoring evil spirits and cling fully to the Holy Spirit of Christ. Pray they will learn to live in the power of God's Spirit, which will produce love, joy, patience, and all the fruit of the Spirit.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray for the Lamet tribe to see the need for their children to attend school, becoming literate and able to help their people cope with the changing world of the 21st century.
Scripture Focus
"The time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory." Isaiah 66:18
