Hmong Dlex Nchab

Historically, the Chinese have viewed the Hmong with contempt, believing them to be "uncivilized barbarians." Visitors to the minority peoples of China, however, have generally found them to be an extremely warm and hospitable people. Father De Mailla's comments on the tribes of Taiwan in the early 1700s still stand true for many of the minorities in China today. De Mailla wrote, "Savages though they may be according to the maxims of the Chinese world, I believe them to be nearer to the true philosophy than a great number of the most celebrated Chinese sages."

Ministry Obstacles

Generations of Hmong Dlex Nchab have perished without receiving news of the sacrifice of Christ for their sins. Chinese authorities tightly control the Jinping area. In 1994, in response to thousands of Hmong Daw coming to Christ through radio broadcasts, the local police arrested 18 church leaders, beat local Christians, and destroyed numerous Bibles and much Christian literature. Jinping County is tightly controlled; past Christian activity (such as among the Hmong Daw) led to arrests and persecution.
