Aluo in China
Ah-luoh
Once every 12 years, in the Year of the Horse, the Aluo celebrate the Paying Tribute to Ah-luo Festival. It takes place at a site where Ah-luo is believed to have become deified as a god. The venue is made up of 144 small pine trees and 80 small fir trees, which form a path leading to the entrance. The 144 pine trees signify the 12 months in a year, multiplied by the 12 years that have elapsed since the last festival.
Ministry Obstacles
There are no known Christians among the Aluo today. Shizong and Luliang counties received little mission work prior to 1949, and few people there today are aware of the gospel. The Aluos identity as a people is deeply rooted in their reverence for a legendary hero, Ah-luo, making it very difficult for them to break free and accept Christ.
Scripture Focus
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." Matthew 5:14
Scripture Prayer
Pray for this people group to become a light to the world reflecting the goodness and grace of Jesus Christ.
Prayer Focus
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among the Aluo in such a way that they will cling to the cross.
Pray for the Lord to provide for their physical and spiritual needs as a testimony of his power and love.
Pray for the Aluo family leaders to lead their families to Jesus Christ and teach them to follow him.
Pray that the Aluo will have a spiritual hunger that will open their hearts to the King of kings.
