Tai Khun in Myanmar (Burma)
tai koon
The Tai Khun live in northeast Myanmar (formerly Burma) and areas of northern Thailand. The Khun themselves are said to have a deep and strongly rooted culture of self-determination. Their homeland has been the center of civilization for many centuries.
Ministry Obstacles
The Tai Khun live in a country that is hostile to the gospel and there are probably no Christ followers among them. They will need to hear it from those outside their language and community.
Scripture Focus
"Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." Matthew 13:8
Scripture Prayer
Pray that today’s people group would become fertile soil and produces much fruit for God and His kingdom.
Prayer Focus
Pray for Bible portions and gospel recordings to have a powerful impact on the Tai Khun.
Ask God to give the Tai Khun interactions with believers if and when they travel out of their own region; then ask the Holy Spirit to give them a spiritual hunger as only he can do to draw them to Jesus.
Ask the Lord to raise up and integrate workers into the Tai Khun in Myanmar.
