HMONG PEOPLE
The Hmong people are found throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. They have their own culture and traditional beliefs, making them a unique ethnic group in the world. The Hmong population worldwide is about 12 million. Most people who live in China and Southeast Asia are agricultural and self-sufficient people. Most remain poor. Those who live in North America, Canada, France, and Australia have access to better education, and they have more significant opportunities.
HMONG RELIGIONAll of the Hmong in the world share the same traditional belief – Animism. They believe that everything has a spirit. Some of the spirits are good, and some are evil. They call on the good spirits and the spirits of their deceased ancestors to help them in need. They practice shamanism and animal sacrifices. The Hmong religion has no heaven or hell; all the dead are going to the same place where their ancestors had gone before them. Although they don’t acknowledge or know it, and they are living under the control of the devil’s evil power and influence. Their religion has no Savior to rescue them; animal sacrifices solve their temporal crisis, and re-incarnation has become their quest for eternal life.

EASTER
And he said to them, “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.” (Mark 16:6, ESV). Easter is a Christian festival celebrating of Jesus Christ's resurrection on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary and victory over sin, death, and the devil. His resurrection is granted to all who believe in Him. The meaning of Easter is the complete verification of all that Jesus preached and taught during His ministry. If He had not risen from the dead, if He had merely died and not been resurrected, He would have been considered just another teacher or Rabbi. However, His resurrection changed all that and gave final and irrefutable proof that He was really the Son of God and that He had conquered sin, death, and the devil once and for all. |
THEY NEED THE GOSPELMost of the Hmong people in the world are not Christian. Unless they hear the Gospel, they will suffer eternal damnation in hell. God loves these people, and Jesus died for their sins. They need to listen to the Gospel of Christ. With God’s help, the Hmong Mission Society intends to reach out with the Gospel to all the Hmong people in the world. Hmong Mission Society is doing Ministry in the United States and Asia. Will you help us bring the Gospel to these people?
