Remember GX: Younuo

Famed across China, the Younuo people (also known as the Red Yao) live in a protected tourist area that adds a high cost to visiting them in their homeland. For those willing to front the entry fee, visitors will catch sight of their bright red traditional clothing, the source of their name the “Red Yao.” Younuo women proudly maintain their trademark, body-length locks with regular washes using locally-grown and fermented rice haircare products.

Psalm 122:9 “For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.”

Despite difficulties in directly visiting Younuo homes, may the crimson blood of JC become the banner of the Red Yao ch to come.

Remember GX: iu Mien

The Iu Mien (pronounced you-MIen) are a branch of the Yao, and constitute half of the Yao minority in Guangxi. They have a history of extended migration due to conflict, crossing mountains to find new homes, and therefore are called the Pan Yao or Mountain Crossing Yao. The Iu Mien people, also called Panhu Yao, believe they are descendants of their deity Panhu, who according to legend, is the Highest Deity’s valiant pet dog who married a princess.

Lord, revive local EV-ists to bring the good news to the Iu Mien. 

Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the L is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
