Bloomin' GX: Meet the Baiku Yao Part 3

Life for the Baiku Yao 

The Baiku Yao is one of the few ethnic groups that have jumped directly from a Stone Age-like existence into modern-day living. For a long time they lived in rocky deserts and barren lands, so the economic development and social expansion of the Baiku Yao has been extremely slow.      Poverty is prominent.

Most villagers plant produce and raise animals, and they bring their agricultural products out on market days in exchange for other necessities of life. Because of the harsh environment, the Baiku Yao has long lived a life of poverty.

Pr for G's blessing on the hands that labor and lead Baiku Yao out of poverty and hardship.

"Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense." (Prov 12:11 NIV)

Pr for His mercy on the Baiku Yao, so that they will not neglect their spiritual life as they struggle to make ends meet.

What do they believe?      

Baiku Yao people traditionally believe that the universe consists of two parts: the "Ying World" and the "Yang  World". They believe the Ghost Master (i.e. the Taoist priest) is the communicator between the two worlds.

In the Baiku Yao mind, the health of the body lies in the integrity of the body, and the incompleteness of the body is reflected in: 1) damage to the physical body; 2) detachment of the soul. 

When there are health problems, the Baiku Yao rely on the ghost masters, who claim to know about heaven and earth and communicate with yin and yang. The Baiku Yao ask them to communicate with the gods and ghosts to restore their health.

Pr for the revival of the local body so that more Baiku Yao can know the true G.

"I, even I, am the L, and apart from me there is no savior." (Isa. 43:11 NIV)

Pr that He will open the eyes of the Baiku Yao to see the true and living G. Pr that G will raise up local clubs  and sp leaders to lead more sheep to the L.
