LAOS: Hmong Study Bible

Most Hmong in the Mekong region of Laos live in rural villages where access to technology and online resources is very limited. Persecution forced many to flee to the highlands hundreds of years ago. Today, they are considered outsiders in their own country, harassed by governmental officials, denied jobs and education, and beaten and imprisoned if they follow Christianity.

Pastors don’t have the resources to prepare sermons and Bibles studies for their congregations. Additionally, many churches are without pastors and the community must rely on lay preachers who don’t have the necessary Biblical knowledge.

White and Blue Hmong Study Bible

The Hmong language branches into two dialects: White and Blue, with the names representing the colours of traditional women’s costumes reflecting different cultural heritages.
This project will provide two full Study Bibles in the Hmong dialects, White Hmong using the Good News Study Bible, and then adapted into Blue Hmong.
The Study Bibles will be directed at church and lay leaders and easy for any Hmong speaking adult to read.
There are approximately 40,000 Hmong Christians in Laos.

“I pray that we will have the complete Study Bible soon.”

~ Hmong speaker

Christians in Laos should be able to read and study the Bible for themselves and develop a deeper relationship with God. Your generosity will allow pastors and lay preachers alike to continue their work and allow Hmong speakers to experience the transformative power of God’s Word.
