Luoluopo, Southeastern of China

Luoluopo, Southeastern of China
The Luoluopo have been living in southern China for more than 500 years. When a Luoluopo dies, his or her relatives organize a "dance of the spirits." They believe this dance will help the soul find its way back to the resting place of its ancestors. The Luoluopo are a very superstitious people. In addition to their intricate system of ancestor worship, the Lolo believe in two gods who created the world, Mit Do and Ket Do. The Southeastern Luoluopo are one of the most neglected and Gospel-starved peoples in the region.

Ministry Obstacles
A complete absence of Christians, with no history of Christianity, is an obstacle to the Gospel, but isn't insurmountable.

Outreach Ideas
Telling these people stories from Scripture would be a good way to communicate. Gospel films and recordings are needed, as well. Pray for workers.

Pray for the followers of Christ
Although there likely are no followers of Jesus among the Luoluopo today, pray for those the Lord will soon lead to Himself. Pray they will be sent teachers and pastors to help them become established in the faith. Pray they will be completely delivered from their superstitious past.

Pray for the entire people group
Pray for the Luoluopo of China and Vietnam to find true life in Jesus Christ, that they be set free from the bondage of superstition and fear. Pray they will be sent mature Christians to share the message of Christ with them in a form they can understand.

Scripture Focus
"He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy He will save." Psalm 72:13

pRAY FOR Kluet of Indonesia

Kluet of Indonesia
The Kluet area of Aceh province is very fertile, and most Kluet make their living from farming. They have a strong sense of ethnic identity, and, therefore, they do not spread out very far from each other. They find it difficult to mix with other people groups, and as a result, their culture is rather closed to outsiders. Most Kluet are followers of Islam. However, traditional animistic beliefs have not totally disappeared and often have significant impact. Many are afraid of supernatural ghosts. Magic talismans are used so that evil spirits will not hurt them.

Ministry Obstacles
The Kluet people live in Aceh province, a region of strong resistance to the good news of Jesus Christ.

Outreach Ideas
Christians need to find ways to help the Kluet people with their medical needs and help them improve their farming methods, as well as share the love of Christ as opportunity offers itself.

Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for the few followers of Jesus among the Kluet people, and the additional believers that will soon join them. Pray they will not waver in their faith in Jesus and His finished work on the cross. Pray they in all things will grow up into Him who is the Head, Christ.

Pray for the entire people group
This people group does not place much value on education. Modern agricultural tools and methods would help keep the Kluet from feeling left behind and threatened by the newcomers moving to their homeland. Medical assistance is strongly needed.

Scripture Focus
