Introduction / History

Mantsi is a language that is part of the Lolo-Burmese cluster of languages. It is a language more than a people group.

All Mantsi speakers live in Vietnam.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Like all people in this region, the Mantsi speakers farm and raise livestock.

What Are Their Beliefs?

They are involved with traditional animistic religion, which means they appease spirits. If they gain the favor of the spirits, things will go well for them. If they gain the wrath of the spirits, they will face misfortune.

What Are Their Needs?

The most urgent need of Mantsi people is to place their faith in Jesus Christ, alone.

The Mantsi speaking people need to come under the protection of the God of the Universe who will gladly give them shelter under His wings.
