Prayer Prompts
Pray for the Hani
I’m Xiaohua, a 15-year-old Hani girl from rural southwest China. I’ve grown up surrounded by the rolling hills and lush fields of our family farm, where my parents work tirelessly to provide for our family. As a child, I was taught to honor our ancestors and worship tree gods and kill ducks at night to worship evil spirits, just like my parents and grandparents before me.
But recently, something new has entered my life. Visitors from a nearby village have come to share with me about a man named Jesus. They speak of His love and kindness, and I find myself drawn to their stories. I look forward to spending time with them, listening to their words, and learning more about this Jesus who seems to care so deeply for people like me.
As I work alongside my parents in the fields, I find my mind wandering to the stories I’ve heard about Jesus. I wonder what it would be like to know Him, to feel His love and care in my life. I’m excited to learn more and to see where this new path might lead me.

“But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4:14
Please pray for me as I continue to learn about Jesus- Pray that I would come to know Jesus personally and experience His love and forgiveness in my life.
Pray that my parents and family would also be open to hearing about Jesus and that they would come to know Him as their Savior.
Pray that the Hani people would be reached with the gospel and that many would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
