MISSIONS

Mountain Yi of East Asia

(ee) - While throngs of Christians the world over celebrate Christmas,

December 25 will pass largely without observance among the Mountain Yi.

Most have never heard of the advent of Jesus. If they even were to hear his

"foreign" name, it would, tragically, hold no significance for them. Pray that

Mountain Yi will come to know the Son of God who came to save them!
