Remember GX: Beida Lao

The Beida Lao have their own traditions and language, but due to influence from neighboring ethnic groups like the Miao andDong, their culture and attire are blended. The Beida Lao are considered a branch of the Yao, specifically of the Bunu people. Their beliefs center on animism and spirit worship, with no known outreach attempts.

PR: May God release the Beida Lao from the bondage of evil spirits, and may pioneers soon be blessing the Beida Lao.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. Isaiah 61:1
