Jino in China

Jino in China Because the Jinuos have never had a written script, their history is uncertain. Marriages between siblings were common in the past. Today, marriages between cousins are still permitted in some villages. The Jinuos also allow courtship and premarital sex, attaching no shame to illegitimate children. Jinuo customs include piercing and decorating their earlobes, teeth painting, and wearing pointed bonnets. They are animists, and also worship Kong Mine, a Chinese war hero who lived in the 2nd century AD. Ministry Obstacles With no written script available in their language, Scripture is not available in written form. Outreach Ideas Oral means of communicating the good news about Christ must be used. Gospel recordings and films will be useful. Pray for the followers of Christ There are a handful of Christian believers among the Jino. Pray they will be properly instructed in the faith, and will grow to become mature believers. Pray they will be salt and light to their own people. Pray for the entire people group Pray the Jino community will be able to care for their families adequately, for good health care and employment opportunities.
