Hmong Report-Hmong Family Baptized in Chiang Rai Province

This is the Ly family. Five members of this family were baptized. The oldest son was not present for this picture.

For over three years people have been praying for Chiang Rai Province, especially whose in remote areas along the Lao border. Xeng Lor has been serving many villages during that time. Many were saved and many others heard the word. They speak of the "Little Jesus Man" with the soft voice which resounds with Love.

Now HIM Group Leader is following up on the work of Xeng and getting to other villages. People are hearing about the WORD and calling out for the servants to come and tell them of this Love they have heard from Xeng.

As reportrd before, Lao Hmong christians are coming into the Province to receive Bible study and training.

Please pray for Xeng and "HIM Leader".

Hmong Report-Hmong Celebration at Phuchifa

Last year the HIM Team was in Phuchifa during the annual Hmong Celebration. This is the same road where the resorts are located. We guess there were over 5,000 Hmong there last year. We saw many Hmong from Nan Province and those we knew from villages in Chiang Rai Province.

Hmong Report-Hmong Baptized near Phuchifa

These two groups were recently baptized in the Phuchifa area by the HIM Group Leader. There were 12 people baptized in one group. The parents and 3 of the children were bapyized in the other group.

God is really moving among the Hmong near Phuchifa. Many have been baptized in the last two months.

Please pray that many more will come to Christ! Pray for HIM Leadership as they serve among the Hmong.

Hmong Report-Phuchifa, Chiang Rai Province

Phuchifa is on the Laos border in Chiang Rai Province, Northern Thailand. It is a tourist attraction because of its beautiful scenery and view into Laos. The mountain shown here is among the highest peaks in Thailand and has a beautiful sunrise coming out of Laos.

There are beautiful gardens and tourist facilities for visitors. Not far away, there are Hmong living in primitive villages, having escaped from Laos over the years to live free in Thailand. Not all the Hmong are as poor as this one village

pictured here, but many are.

HIM Group Leader has been serving here among the Hmong for several weeks. Once or twice a month, Hmong are coming over from Laos for Leadership Training and Bible Study.

Hmong Report-February Report from Xeng and Bangyat

Bangyat Her, in the blue jacket, is the HIM associate working out of Nan Province. He has been appointed by the Northern Thai Baptist Convention as the Hmong representative. All the work with Hmong Baptist Churches/Cell Churches that have joined the NTBC is coordinated through Bangyat and all these churches report to him. Bangyat works under the supervision of the HIM Group Leader.

Bangyat also conducts revivals, Bible studies, leadership training, discipleship training, Hmong literacy training, and other classes as may be necessary throughout Northern Thailand.

Xeng Lor, in the yellow shirt, is the HIM associate in Chiang Rai Province. He works under the supervision of the HIM Group Leader.

Xeng's monthly routine is very much like that of the Methodist Circuit Riders of many years ago. He not only pastors a church in Huai Khu, but maintains a regular circuit of villages. He also visits new villages, sharing the Gospel and passing out tracts. In February, Xeng, served in four new villages and the Gospel was well received. He believes some will soon receive Christ.

During this time of year, there are many people sick in the mountain villages. Xeng has visited many sick people in the villages and hospital. Sometimes he has to take people to the hospital on his bike.

Xeng also maintains a jail ministry in Chiang Rai City.

Please pray for these two men as they serve among the Hmong in Northern Thailand.

Hmong News- February Report from HIM Group Leader

The Lord continues to work His wonders in Northern Thailand among the Hmong in Nan, Phrae, Lampang, Phayao, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai Provinces.

The following are some of the wonderful events that happened during February 2007 involving our HIM Group Leader.

1. Three people received Christ in Pam Kae, Nan Province

2. Four believers in Pam Kae were baptized

3. Discipleship classes were held for two days for 9 Lao Christians in Chiang Khong area, Chiang Rai Province

4. Parenting classes were held for over 150 people in Huai Leng, Chiang Rai Province. There were 130 Thai Hmong people and 21 from Laos. They all camped out for three days

5. HIM shared the Gospel to a new village, Huai Ku, near Phuchifa, Chiang Rai Province. This village is still living in their own primitive way. There is no water system, no electricity, no toilets, and no school. There are 450 people and they want to hear the Gospel. HIM plans to be there at once each month

6. Bible study, leadership classes and services were held in six other villages

7. HIM worked with the Thai Northern Baptist Convention, coordinating work for spreading the Gospel and adding new churches to the rolls. He also worked with other denominations as well, preaching and teaching

8. Hmong literacy classes were taught in 2 dorms and several villages among the believers there

Please continue to pray for the whole HIM Team. God is so awesome! It is almost beyond belief what God is doing among the Hmong in these Provinces. There are three HIM Team members and we are praying that more can be added.

Please pray that funds will soon be made available to expand this ministry.

Hmong News-"new village"

HIM Team (see profile) reports they have reached a new village of 450 Hmong people, Huai Kub. It is on the Thai and Lao border at Phuchifa. This village is still living very primitively. They have no water system, no electric power, and no bathrooms. The people built their own pathway to the village, a tiny road that is only passable in the dry season.

Many people want to believe and HIM will be coming back to them monthly.

We will have a follow up report on this village later. Please pray for them as they are very much afraid of Satan.
