There are many tribes in China's southwestern Yunnan Province, most of which have little written history. The Northwestern Nisu people are among them.
The Northwestern Nisu people live in China's under developed Yunnan Province.
The Northwestern Nisu people are farmers who grow rice and raise livestock.
Members of the Northwestern Nisu people make offerings of fake money or livestock. They bring their offerings to a priest who performs a ritual that they believe will send their dead relative's spirit off to Ngomi, the after world. They believe that after the deceased crosses the rivers and mountains they will need enough money to purchase more land in the spirit world to make room for the rest of the family after they die. They believe these offerings to the King of Ngomi will help their "living family" to prosper and not face the terrible wrath of the gods.
They maintain their history through oral means. Gospel materials will need to be presented to them the same way.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to give the Northwestern Nisu people teachable and understanding hearts.
Pray that a strong movement of the Holy Spirit will bring entire Northwestern Nisu families into a rich experience of God's blessing.
Pray for Northwestern Nisu families to be drawn by the Holy Spirit to seek forgiveness, and to understand the adequacy of Christ's work on the cross.
Pray for teams of believers to do sustained, focused prayer for the Lord to open the hearts of Northwestern Nisu family leaders to experience God's blessing through a movement of family-based discovery Bible studies.
