Mien Christians in Thailand

Imagine that in Thailand 94.6% is Buddhist, 4.6% is Moslem, 0.1% is from other sects and Only 0.7% is Christians. To get the actual figure there are only more or less 10,000 SDA Christian members out of 65,444,371 (est. as of July 2005) country’s population. And out of that,there are only about 40 Mien SDA Christian church members out of about 30,000 Miens here from more than a hundred Mien isolated villages, scattering all over Northern Thailand. For many years, missionaries have been reaching them. They have faced tough challenges in learning their language, culture and understanding their beliefs. But still the gospel work has been very slow. In fact, recently, we have only one Mien SDA church at Ban Pangkhon, Chiangrai Province. The other Mien SDA is home church At Ban huai fai, Nan province. There ARE still unreach Mien PEOPLE in Laos, Vietnam, and China aside from the unreach Mien here in Thailand. Our burden is to produce disciples that will take part in the loud cry. Will you help us? We are needing you...
