Pingdi in China
PING-dee
The Pingdi peoples are part of the greater Yao cluster of people groups. The majority are farmers engaged in rice cultivation.
Ministry Obstacles
The mountainous area where the Pingdi are located is rarely visited by outsiders. As a result, the Pingdi have minimal interaction with other people groups who might share the gospel.
Outreach Ideas
In the ancient past the Yao had a legend of a creator. The Yao claim, "Ages ago ... before we crossed the sea, we worshipped someone called Tin Zay, who lives in heaven and is a holy god." Christians sharing the gospel with the Yao people group could start with the story of the creator God.
Scripture Focus
"Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name’s sake!" Psalm 79:9
Scripture Prayer
Pray that many from this people group will call out to the Lord as desperately as the psalmist did in this verse.
Prayer Focus
Pingdi believers are often viewed as strange by their families, friends and neighbors. Pray they would overcome social obstacles by being supernaturally transformed into loving disciples. Pray for Holy Spirit-anointed believers from the Pingdi people to change their society from within. Pray that believers from other parts of China would bring them the good news of Jesus. The JESUS Film and some audio resources are available in Xiang, the language of the Pingdi. Pray for a "book of Acts" type of movement to Christ among the Pingdi people.
