Tsun-Lao   TSOON-lao

The Tsun-Lao live in the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam, where Vietnamese influence was minimal until the 1900s. Today, however, many are assimilated into the Vietnamese culture. The Tsun-Lao live in villages alongside rivers or near roads, which provide them with access to Chinese merchants. Their houses are typically made of wood or bamboo. They are built high on stilts. Poultry, pigs, and goats may run freely underneath the houses. The Buddhist Wat, or temple, is the center of village life.

Ministry Obstacles

The Tsun-Lao live in northern Vietnam, an area where few Christian followers can tell them about the only savior.

Scripture Focus

"For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods."  Psalm 135:5

Scripture Prayer

Pray that they will understand that there is no god as great as God, the one who gives us all we need.

Prayer Focus

Pray for Tsun-Lao in Vietnam to have receptive hearts, and that they would encounter the King of kings. Pray that movements to Christ would explode, as followers make followers, and that they would place their identity in Christ. Ask God to raise up prayer teams who will begin breaking up the spiritual soil through worship and intercession.
