Baha Buyang in China
Bah-ha Boo-yung

The Baha Buyang practice wet-rice agriculture and catch Chinese geckos for use in Chinese medicine. The Buyang worship their ancestors, observing rituals to ensure their forefathers are taken care of in the next life. They offer food so the spirits won't go hungry and burn large amounts of paper money to break any hold of poverty that may have ensnared the dead. The Buyang are part of China's largest minority, the Zhuang; however, their language is distinct and not intelligible with other Zhuang dialects.

Ministry Obstacles
Their ancestor worship traps the Buyang in spiritual bondage, keeping them from accepting that Christ has provided for all their spiritual needs. Few Buyang have any awareness of the gospel or the reason Jesus came to earth.

Scripture Focus
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."  John 5:24

Scripture Prayer
Pray that today’s people group listens to God’s message and believes in the good news of their salvation.

Prayer Focus
Ask God to send bold workers, driven by the Holy Spirit, to go to them. Pray for an unstoppable movement to Christ among the Buyang. Pray for the authority of Christ to bind hindering spirits and lead them from darkness to light. Pray for signs and wonders, leading to the multiplication of disciples and house churches.
