98. Shan Project – Mae Hong Son
The Shan Project is located in Mae Hong Son
district with
around 20-30 members currently involved in various projects. The Shan
people have migrated from Myanmar and many of them work in Thailand ($2-3
US per day), while some even live here. The Shan people are pure
Buddhist who have escaped from the persecution of the Myanmar
government. Many of the Shan people end up fleeing to Mae Hong Son,
Fang, and Ai – all districts within Chiang Mai. Some of the Shan people
have citizenship but many do not. Even if they are born in Thailand they
are denied citizenship because they are still considered citizens of
Myanmar. Your team can do evangelism to the Shan people in various
villages. Opportunities to do dramas, testimonies, preaching, tract
distribution, prayer walking, teaching English and building
relationships will be plentiful for your team! |
