Akha, Luma of Laos
The Luma Akha inhabit several villages in the
Boun-Tai District of Phongsali Province in northern Laos. They live in
an opium producing area, and today, one in ten Akha are said to be
addicted to opium. In addition to being able to recite their long
genealogies, which reach back more than 60 generations, the Akha are
also able to remember the migration routes their ancestors took to
arrive at their present locations. The Luma Akha are animists and
ancestor worshippers. One Burmese evangelist, when he visited an Akha
village in Myanmar, reported, "As we approached the village, we saw
evidence that the battle we would be fighting was spiritual, not
physical. Above the entrance way to the village were animal skulls and
demonic symbols.... altars around the perimeter of the village still
fresh with blood from sacrificed dogs, goats and chickens."Ministry Obstacles Workers can expect spiritual opposition as they present Jesus to the Akha. They need to be prepared for this, but not intimidated. Outreach Ideas There are believers in tribes near the Luma Akha. Pray they will be obedient to the command of Christ to share the good news they have received. Pray for the followers of Christ Please pray for the few Luma Akha who are Christians. They need spiritual protection, and they need mentors and teachers to help them. Pray for the entire people group Please pray the Luma Akha will be set free from opium addiction, and will find other crops to raise that will generate as much profit as opium. Scripture Focus "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations." Luke 24:46-47 |
