Remember GX: Duoluo

Some say walking among nature and trees is a spiritual experience, and the Duoluo people of Guangxi would definitely agree. The Duoluo mark their graves with trees, rather than stones. At the base of trees, shamans chant and offer animal sacrifices during funerals and ancestor worship.

The Duoluo has been officially classified among the Gelao people, a wide grouping across two countries and three Chinese provinces. With their population of about 3000 woven among so many different people groups, the Duoluo may be overlooked by good news workers.

Ask for revival fire among the reported Duoluo believers, drawing them into a close relationship with the only savior. Ask that Duoluo people will come to His tree of life through JC.

The leaves of [the tree of life] are for the healing of the nations. Rev 22:2

Remember GX: Changping Iu Mien

The Changping Iu Mien are classified as one of the Iu Mien language groups in China, all of which are included under the official Yao nationality. Despite this, someone who speaks the Changping language and other Iu Mien branches won’t understand each other’s heart language.

Although the Iu Mien do not consider their worship and honor of patron diety Pan Hu as a religion, there is no doubt that it is the main spiritual aspect of their lives. Spirit priests are employed to offer sacrifices to Pan and to intercede on behalf of the people. At times during the Pan Hu Festival, people are known to enter into a demonic frenzy as the focus of their energies reach a climax. With few confirmed Christians, there are almost no workers available to take the gospel to the Changping Iu Mien in their language.

Pray for the L’s victory over the spiritual forces that oppress the Changping Iu Mien people. Pray that the Changping Iu Mien people will have a spiritual hunger that will open their hearts to the King of kings.

They triumphed over (the Enemy) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Rev 12:11
