So of Laos
The So of Laos
are primarily farmers. They cultivate a wide variety of crops, such as
rice, fruit, and vegetables, for both consumption and trade. They are
poorer than most of the surrounding ethnic groups and are therefore
dependent on the Lao for many goods and services. Among the So, the
village is considered the most significant political unit of society.
Each village is led by a headman, and each family is led by the father.
"Although the So often show an intense interest in scripture, they have
not yet overcome the spiritual barriers that keep them from embracing
the King of Kings. Their families and relatives all fear that if any one
of them abandons worship of the spirits, the entire family will be
punished."
Ministry ObstaclesFear is one of the obstacles to the Gospel experienced by the So. Please pray they will be set free from fear. Outreach Ideas Pray for spiritually mature, indigenous workers to take the liberating news of Christ to the So tribe. Laos has a number of evangelical churches, and people in these churches can take the Gospel to unreached tribes in their own country.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Please pray for the few individuals in the So tribe who identify themselves as Christians. They need to be taught how to quickly confess sin, and then trust God's Spirit to fill them and give them the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the poor So tribe will be able to improve their standard of living, and will care for those unable to care for themselves.
Scripture Focus
