Meet the Maonan People
In GX, the Maonan people live in Hechi prefecture’s Huanjiang county. They can speak Maonan, Zhuang, and Mandarin languages. (wow emoji) They call themselves the Anan, which according to their own language means “the people of this land.” This meaning was translated to “Maonan” in Mandarin. Traditional Maonan beliefs include ancestor wr-shp and polytheism.
1 Kings 8:60 All the peoples of the earth may know that the L is G and that there is no other.
Pr the Maonan can break away from idol wr-shp, and know and revere the only real G. Pr G opens the eyes of the Maonan to see the truth.
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.
