Description: The Iu Mien are the largest sub-group of the Yao people-cluster in China. They live primarily in China's Yunnan province in the Southeast part of the country.
Prayer Points:
• Some Iu Mien have begun to listen to gospel radio broadcasts in their language and have received Christ. Pray for effective follow-up with these believers and for the formation of local congregations.
• About half of the Iu Mien now speak Chinese. Pray that Chinese believers would reach out to these and that this would result in the gospel spreading amongst the more remote Iu Mien as well.
• The Iu Mien have adopted Daoism, a religion which blends ideas and practices of Buddhism and traditional Chinese religion. Pray for spiritual breakthrough and for the eyes of the Iu Mien to be opened.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the Iu Mien be redeemed for the glory of your name! Let your eternal kindness captivate their hearts and enrich their spirits in Jesus Christ.
Every year 14,000 Iu Mien die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
