Rongmahbrogpa Amdo in China

The name Rongmahbrogpa is a combination of the Tibetan words Rongba (villager or farmer) and Brogpa (nomad or herder). Although ethnically and culturally the Rongmahbrogpa belong to the Tibetan nationality, they speak a language that is distinct from other Tibetan varieties. Rongmahbrogpa contains two or more dialects. Although they may not understand each other's speech, all Tibetans use the same written script. Tibetans from different areas can often be seen exchanging notes to communicate. The Tibetan prayer wheel, or manichorkor, can be turned by hot air, hand, wind or water. As it spins, the scroll contained in the cylinder is believed to release prayers to the heavens. There are several audio and visual gospel resources in their language that can be prayerfully distributed.

Ministry Obstacles

Tibetan Buddhism, especially with the extra layer of bon shamanism, is a major spiritual deterrent to the gospel. Tibetan peoples have historically proven to be difficult groups to reach with the gospel.
