“At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world” (Ephesians 2:12 CSB).The Lupanshui Miao people of China are predominately hardworking farmers who worship spirits. They live in places that are difficult to reach and remain in physical isolation and spiritual darkness. Many young people flock to cities in search of work and a better life. There they are influenced by Chinese and communist culture, and many Lupanshui Miao youth abandon the beliefs of their parents and turn to atheism. They live without God or hope and desperately need the gospel to set them free from the bondage of sin. God, above the city noise, we pray they will hear you calling to them and will seek you.
