Remember GX: AO PEople

The Ao people (pronounced “OW”) are one of five major branches of the Yao minority in eastern GX, all who live on their namesake region of Big Yao Mountain.

Alongside participating in festivals for the Yao King Pan and maintaining ancestral altars, Ao families traditionally practice Daoism by mounting portraits of Dao deities in their homes and using Dao masks in ceremonies. Reportedly, 30 Yao people followed JC in 1996, including several Ao.

 “Who shall ascend the hill of the L? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.” Psalm 24:3-4

 May Ao and other Yao believers ascend the hill of the L and turn away from false idols.

Remember GX: The E People

The E people (pronounced like the “uh” sound in “Uptown”) speak a blended language made up of five neighboring minority languages. Though proud of their culture, they don’t like the nickname “Wu-se” (meaning “five-colored”) given to them. Concentrated in the two counties of Luocheng and Rongshui, these people 40,000 strong are a branch of the official Zhuang ethnic minority. The E people practice animism and there are currently no known believers.

 Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose G is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!”

 May He choose the E people to hear the good news and become his heritage.
