Hmong News-The 10 Children at LYND

These are the ten children that HIM Leader led to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ recently reported on this blog.

HIM News-HIM Leader going to Chiang Khong

HIM Leader will be in Chiang Khong later this week to meet Hmong who will be coming some distance for Hmong Literacy, Bible Studies, Leadership Training, and Discipleship Training.

Seed is being planted everywhere HIM Leader goes. Please pray for the Harvesters as they are trained to serve the Master. Especially pray for HIM Associates/Planter-Harvesters, Xeng Lor and Bangyat as they go forth among the Hmong in Northern Thailand.

Only God knows what total effect these three servant's ministry is having on the Hmong. We do know that people are "calling" from all around the Northern Provinces, asking for the "Jesus Man" to come to their village.

The "Fields of Hmong" are ripe unto harvest! Please pray that HIM Leader, Xeng, and Bangyat will not only reach Hmong for Christ, but many will be trained to tell others!

HIM Report-Public School in Mae Charim

There has been a major breakthrough in the public schools near the Love Your Neighbor Dorm (LYND) in Mae Charim. Pastor Manit (LYND) has been a great influence at these schools over the years and HIM Leader has also worked there.

Many students from the public dorms have attended studies and services at the LYND. We have had many opportunities to talk to and witness to these students over the years at LYND.
HIM has had two Hmong Student Projects from the US in the past. It is a major Blessing to be asked to teach Hmong Literacy at the schools.

Please pray for Pastor Manit and HIM Leader.

Hmong Report-Break-Through with Shaman

HIM leader reports that two Shaman in Ban Pam Poei are open to hearing the Gospel. He was there last week witnessing to villagers and teaching the Bible. God openned the door for HIM Leader to witness to these two Shaman and he will be going back in a week or so.

HIM Report on Love Your Neighbor Dorm

This is a report from HIM Leader:

"This is to keep you all updated on Hmong Ministry at Love Your Neighbor Dorm, Maecharim, Nan Province. Usually we have 30 Hmong students attend Bible study, Hmong Literacy Classes and other activities. Today there was a special blessing as 10 students made professions of faith in Jesus Christ.

Two directors from the public school dorms were in contact with A. Manit asking for Bible study and Hmong Literacy Classes at their dorms. Many more Hmong communities are interested in Hmong Literacy Classes. I have agreed to expand Hmong Literacy Classes into as many Hmong communities as possible."

Hmong Report-New ChristianFamily-Nan Province

This is a report from HIM Leader:

New family

To keep you up dated on Hmong ministry at Ban Pang Kae, Nan, this Sunday after noon we had Bible study, praise, fellowship service with the group. After finishing with the fellowship service, we went to share the gospel and give our testimonies to several Hmong. Mr. and Mrs. Yee Seamua and son (pictured here) made profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

The couple stated that they got tired of worshiping the spirits ( ancestors) because the spirits always caused them problems, such as bad dreams, sickness, bad luck, family problems etc. Unfortunately, they recently had lost 2 daughters. They believe the spirits of the ancestors caused them serious illiness and they passed away. The doctors found nothing wrong with the children and couldn't help them. The shaman told them that they needed sacrificial animals to the redeem the lost souls. If the parents sacrificed animals for the evil spirits then the daughters would receive healing. Since the shaman did sacrificial animals to redeem the lost souls several times, it still didn't help. Finally the two daughters expired. They do not trust the shaman now. He was just causing them the loss of money and hope. The couple don't think that the shaman has power over the devil. Therefore, please pray for this new family and that they can witness to the other family members also.

In Christ,
