Hmong Report:Revival Meetings in Huai Khu and Nam Tuang

HIM Team Leader reports that God worked in the lives of the church members in Huai Khu and Nam Tuang churches during the revivals held this month. They are so excited about what happened in their lives that they are already planning a revival next year.

HIM Team Leader has been so busy with new work that it was difficult to stop and do six days of revival meetings, but the meetings have benefited not only the church members but all three of the HIM Associates.

The two top pictures are from Nam Tuang and the third from Huai Khu.

Our God is so awesome and continues to bless in many ways!

Hmong News:Hmong Cell Church Planting - N. Thailand

HMONG CELL CHURCH PLANTING IN NORTHERN THAILAND

This plan was developed by the HIM Group Leader and is partially implemented at this time.

I. Currently, there are six Provinces in Northern Thailand covered in this plan:

Chiang Rai Province - 50,000 people - 45 villages
Nan Province - 27,000 people - 25 villages
Chiang Mai Province - 23,000 people - 35-40 villages
Mae Hong Son Province - 5,000 people - 15 villages
Lampang Province - 4,000 people - 3 or 4 major villages
Phayao Province - 3,700 people - 7 villages

II. The immediate plan was to develop two districts in the Eastern half of Northern Thailand, which will include Chiang Rai, Phayao, and Nan Provinces. These three Provinces account for over 66 % of the total Hmong population in the six Provinces and 55 % of the villages.

The HIM Group Leader supervises Xeng Lor in Chiang Rai Province District and Bangyat Her in Nan Province District.

Other districts will be defined as God provides new servants.

III. Maesaran Bible Training Center in Mae Hong Son, offers a great two year Leadership/Bible Training Course. It consists of six months in the class room and then six months in the field. The cost is only $150/year. It is possible that HIM can send some students there in the future.

Also, The Bible League of Thailand can train servants in Cell Church techniques.

IV. The Village Ministries will be expanded by HIM as newly trained leaders are in place to take the village responsibilities. There are over 120,000 Hmong living in Thailand in 130-140 villages. The following list of villages are among those currently being served:

Village Name, Population, and Type of Hmong:

Pam Poi - 1,300 - Blue and White

There are new villages to be added to this list. Most of the work is now located in Chiang Rai and Nan Provinces.

Please pray for the lost Hmong in Thailand and that God will develop new servants from the villages through the efforts of the the three HIM Associates.

Hmong Report-What Does HIM Do?

Many have asked for an overview of what HIM does in Thailand and the US. Listed below is an outline we recently sent to the IRS. This outline does not detail all that is done, but gives one a good idea of what we hope to accomplish through God's power.

Work in Thailand

1. Training Hmong People Group in Northern Thailand- Phayao, Chiang Rai, Nan, Phrae, Lampang, Uttaradit, Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, and Chiang Mai Provinces. Also Hmong come across the border from Laos. Three HIM associates train people in the following areas:
a. Parenting
b. Hmong Literacy
c. Bible
d. Leadership
e. Discipleship
f. Village Hygiene
g. Citizenship

2. The three HIM associates travel around these Provinces teaching in many villages. The goal is to train village leaders to carry on the training programs in the future, perhaps three or four new leaders in each village. Those from Laos are to go back and train people in their villages. At least 50 to 100 people are trained each week. Occasionally, groups of 150 come together for two or three days.

3. Cell Church Planting

4. All donations are used for expenses of HIM associates, educational supplies, fuel, food for villages meetings, special transportation needs to get some Hmong to meetings, first aid/medical supplies, motorbike/pick-up truck repairs, and tires.

A new motor bike and used 4WD truck were purchased in 2006.

Work in US

The work in the US is conducted in the state of GA. The services are educational classes (ESL classes, computer, resumes, employment, marriage, home safety, parenting), mentoring children, transportation for the needy, and distribute donations to the needy.

Hmong News-March Report, Xeng and Bangyat

Xeng Lor reports from Chiang Rai Province:

1. Two more people in his home village, Huai Khu, prayed to receivce Christ this month.

2. He conducted Bible study in four villages.

3. He has been visiting the members in Huai Khu, praying for those who are sick and those who face temptations to return to the old way. There is always a great deal of pressure from family to return. Because of the rainy season, Xeng will be able to spend more time in Huai Khu in Bible study and teaching songs to the members.

Bangyat Her reports from Nan Province:

1. Bible study continues among the Lua group near Bangyat's village.

2. Bangyat has been leading fellowship services in his village.

3. He has been coordinating his time with the Thai Baptist Convention (TBC) and visiting villages for Bible study.

4. Bangyat continues to meet and make plans for evangelism and church growth with the TBC and Northern Thai Baptist Convention.

5. Bangyat helps the HIM Group Leader in planning Hmong ministry activities. He will be teaching and preaching in the two revivals in April.

Please pray for these two associates as they serve among the Hmong in Chiang Rai and Nan Provinces. God has really provided two great servants in Xeng and Bangyat!

Hmong Report-Ex-Shaman

When I first met Chia Lor in 2002, I taped his testimony in regard to demon possession. In 2000, HIM Group Leader led him to Christ. He was a Shaman and had a problem of being possessed by demons. It was a stirring testimony of how Christ released him from bondage. It was great to meet with him again in 2006.

Bro. Lor and his wife in the red sweater with the white collar live in Paklang. There are 14 family members which include married children and grandchildren. We came by to have baptismal services today which would include one of his sons. The son had to take a test and was not there.

There was a couple there though that had come to learn about Yexus. We did not baptize that day, but HIM Group Leader led this couple to Christ.

Recently the son we were to baptize and his brother were baptized in a stream in Paklang. They are pictured with Mr. Lor.

Hmong News-Major Vang, Paklang Village

Major Vang was in the Royal Lao Army with General Vang Pao. He and his wife have lived in Paklang for many years. They have their family living with them and take care of the grandchildren as the sons and daughters work.

The Vang's had been having some problems in their marriage and asked around for help from Yexus people. It was suggested to them that they should speak with the HIM Group Leader.

The problem they were having was over Shamanism. They are both Shaman. One worships spirits that live in houses and the other spirits that live outdoors.

HIM associate was able to witness to them and opened the door for further discussions.

They are pictured with Bangyat Her and Fran Keck.

Hmong Report-Hmong Revival Meetings

The HIM Group Leader reports that two revivals are scheduled for the near future. Both these churches are older and well established, but have not had a revival in years. The churches, Nam Tuang in Nan Province and Khu Huai in Chiang Rai Province believe God is directing them in scheduling these meetings.

Please pray for these meetings as many people in the villages have heard the word, but have not come to the Lord. Many others have not heard the word though they are aware of the Christians in these villages.

Also pray for funding as it will cost about $100 in supplies, etc., for each village.

Hmong News-HIM March Report from Group Leader

The Lord continues to bless in Northern Thailand. The HIM Group Leader reports the following blessings:

1. Three families of 18 people received Christ in Payapipak Village, Laotakhao Village, and Huai Khu Village in the Phuchifa area of Chiang Rai Province.

2. Thirteen new Christians were baptized this month. Twelve were in Laotakhao Village and one in Nam Tuang Village, Nan Province. Nam Tuang is the village that Pastor Manit of the LYN Dorm worked in many years ago. Because of his serve among the Hmong, the dorm was started when kids came to live with Manit in order to go to school.

3. There was Discipleship Training for a group of Hmong from Laos in the Chiang Khong area of Chiang Rai Province.

4. Hmong Literacy Classes continue in two dorms.

5. Hmong Literacy Classes were held in two villages in Nan Province, Pam Kae and Paklang for new Christians. Classes were also held in Payapipak Village in Chiang Rai.

6. There was Bible Study and Leadership Training held in five villages.

Lives are being touched everyday through the efforts of the HIM Team, fellow Hmong Christians working and praying in the villages, and your prayers from America. Thank you all very much for your concern and prayers.
