"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the Word, to declare the mystery of Christ,...that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak." Colossians 4:2- 4

The Yi peoples are a very isolated people. Only a minorty of these 7.7 million souls have ever heard the name of Jesus. They only have snippets of the Bible translated in their various Tibetan-Burman dialects. Very, very few are believers.

For centuries these people have been scattered across mountainous areas of southwest China, some living in frigid, high altitude areas and a small number living in flat lands or valleys.  The altitude differences of the Yi areas is the primary reason why the Yis in various areas are so different from one another.  Their dialects share no more than 50% of words in common.

Yet, God knows these languages and these people and is calling the Yi to Himself.  Please join us in praying for these beautiful people.  We desire to have an army of prayer warriors, committed to praying regularly for the Yi.

Please use the information on this site, to help you know and understand the Yi better. This will also help you know how to better pray for the various groups of Yi peoples and how you can participate in reaching the Yi with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
