Mongour

The Mongour, bearing a name derived from Mongol, are often identified with the Tu. But the Mongour have distinctions especially regarding marriage customs. "Marriage to the pole" involves a girl staying with her family and taking in lovers. Children born through this "marriage" take the family name. "Marriage to the girdle" involves a girl sleeping with a guest. The guest leaves behind his girdle, and if the girl becomes pregnant, she would be "married to the girdle." Mother and child following birth are confined to a room for one month with only the closest female relative allowed to enter.

Ministry Obstacles

The majority of Mongours practice Tibetan Buddhism, and others follow ethnic religions. Shamans are active for both healing and carrying out vengeance. With so few Christ followers and living in a region void of a strong gospel presence, the Mongours have little chance to hear of the saving power of Jesus.

Scripture Focus

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8
