As you can tell this particular blog is not being written on Monday. Actually I am writing one blog for two weeks- and this blog will be in the middle of those two weeks- June 22nd and June 29th. My next blog entry will be July 7th. These two weeks I am traveling fairly extensively and I know ahead of time that writing will be next to impossible.
As I travel many people have been asking: "OK, so who DO you work with? Who are some of these 'difficult unreached people groups?'" I have entitled this blog "A Heavenly List." STADIA INTERNATIONAL-JONATHAN PROJECT takes the Gospel with intentionality to hard places, to difficult unreached people groups. This Heavenly List is just a small window into some of the people groups we are currently impacting for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Hmong, Black- China, Vietnam and Laos
- Hmong, Horned- China
- Hmong, Sinicized- China, Vietnam
- Lahu, Aga- Laos, China
- Lahu, Na- Laos, China
- Lahu, Na Npeh- Laos, China
- Bouyei, Bouyei- China
- Tibetan, Kham- China
- Tibetan, Amdo- China
- Laos- So
- Zhuang, Dejing- China
- Ahka, Western Hanni- China, Laos, Vietnam
- Karen, Sqaw- Thailand, Myanmar
- Karen, Pwo- Thailand, Myanmar
- Mien, Iu- China
- Phuan, Tai- Laos
- Shan Tai, Long- China, Thailand, Myanmar
- Shan Tai, Nua- China, Myanmar
- Tai, Black- Laos, Vietnam
- Tai, Lue- China, Myanmar, Thailand
- Tai Lue, Han- China
- Tai Lue, Huayao- China
The above "Heavenly List" represents a portion of the people SI/JP is actively engaged with at this time. What that means in very real terms is that we have trained Jonathans on the ground, working with the people, telling the story of Jesus Christ, planting multiplying churches within the context of who these people groups are and what they have.
As you can see the groups above come from a general geographical area. "People Groups" are not necessarily limited to this nation or that nation. Historically their travels, villages and trade routes go back and forth across nationalistic boundaries. This list is to demonstrate the ministry of SI/JP in one geographical region. Remember SI/JP has other lists, of other areas, where the same thing is happening! Jonathans are trained and are leading men and women to the Lord Jesus Christ in the context of who they are and what they have.
