Pula of China

Pula of China The Pula believe that a god named Mumi created the heavens and earth, humans, and all spirits. "On the first 'rabbit' day after the Chinese New Year, the Pula worship the sky; on the first 'ox' day they worship the earth and the village god; and on the first 'tiger' day they call all the spirits to their aid in the new year. The Pula hold many ceremonies which ... sacrifice a pig. After the sacrifice a feast is held beneath the sacred tree of the village." In every Pula home the most sacred room is a central bay which contains the ancestral altar. Next to the altar is a tiny "spirit door" about 10 inches wide. There are just a few known Christians among the Pula in China, while only one or two families are known to have found Christ among this unreached group in northern Vietnam. Ministry Obstacles Scripture is not reported as available in the language of the Pula, and it is questionable whether Gospel recordings are available. Outreach Ideas Perhaps Han Chinese Christians will be led to take the Gospel to the Pula. Pray they will be well prepared for this, and will be obedient to go. Pray for the followers of Christ There is only a handful of Pula who have indicated they are Christians. They very much need our prayers. Pray for the entire people group Please pray the Pula will soon be set completely free from superstition and the worship of created things. Pray also they will be able to provide adequately for material needs. Scripture Focus "God has granted to the Gentiles [nations] also the repentance that leads to life."
