Queyu in China
CHOO-yoo

In 1955, the Chinese government authorities ordered the Tibetan monks of the large Litang Monastery to record their possessions for tax assessment. When they refused to comply, the People's Liberation Army of China laid siege to the monastery. Upon arrival, they encountered many of the Queyu people armed with farm equipment to which the Chinese responded by bombing Litang Monastery. These people live in three counties, all located in the western part of Sichuan Province. They have been officially counted as part of the Tibetan nationality.

Ministry Obstacles
These people are committed to the Buddhist religious system, and few witnesses of Christ's grace have been there since the 1950s. It is an understatement to say they still lack an adequate gospel witness.

Outreach Ideas
Chinese workers can fill the abandoned mission posts. They can also set up small health clinics to care for physical ailments, keeping spiritual health at the forefront and seeking to lead their patients to Christ, the Great Physician.

Scripture Focus
"He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen."  Deuteronomy 10:21

Scripture Prayer
Pray that many from this people group will make the Lord their only God, and thank Him for His miracles.

Prayer Focus
Pray that God would bring peace between the Chinese government and the Queyu people. Pray that the Lord would call missionaries to this lone area, leading to a movement to Christ. Pray that the Queyu people would see the glory of the risen Christ and turn to him alone.
