HIM Leader - Report of Expansion of Lao Border Ministry

HIM Leader is openning another ministry location on the Lao border in early February. He will need at least $200 for each meeting which will cover Lao Bibles and pamplets. This may not cover some other costs for these meeting. There may rent for a building, food, and water expenses.

I have sent HIM Leader $200 from the our reserve account. HIM Leader needs $200-$300 per month for Lao Border Ministries, Coffee Ministies, and general supplies.

We need some help for this ministry. If anyone would like to help, please send your donation to: Hmong International Ministries, Inc., 3867 Airline Rd., Mc Donough, GA 30252-4013.

Please pray for HIM Leader, Xeng Lor, Bangyat Her, The Bible League of Thailand, and christian Hmong village leaders. God is touching the hearts of the Hmong People Group. They are responding like no other People Group in all of Thailand. HIM Leader receives more request to go villages than he can handle. Again, please pray for the work in Northern Thailand and along the Lao border.

Thank you!

Francis D. Keck, CEO/President

HIM Leader Shares Gospel in Ban Manee Pruke, Nan Province

Leader ask for prayer:

Dear Fran and all

Just to remind you all that we went to share the gospel in Ban Manee Pruke, Nan today. God touched the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Nhia Phang Saethao. They are a family 9 and almost ready to receive Jesus Christ. They promised that they are going to call me soon to come and burn their spirit house. Please pray for this family that God might encounter them and save their souls.

During last week and this weekend we were very busy, because we have been receiving many calls, mostly for Spiritual help. Thank God for using us as a tool to work with people.

In Christ,

HIM Leader


I ask all of you to pray for HIM Leader as they travel from village to village, telling people about Jesus. We not only need your prayers, but your financial support. The dollar has weakened against the Baht, fuel cost are up and general supplies for the ministry have increased. Hmong International Ministries, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductable. You may send your donation to: Hmong International Ministries, Inc., 3867 Airline Rd., Mc Donough, GA 30252-4013. All donations received go directly into the work.

HIM Leader - Report on Pam Poei


HIM Leader's Report on Pam Poei:

To keep you up dated on Hmong Ministry at Ban Pam Poei, Nan. As I have mentioned you all last Monday, today we went back to follow up those prospects. God blessed and Mr. and Mrs. Chong Nhia Her with 7 children, made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ this morning. Several of them still have not make decision. I pray that God will bless their hearts and bringing them into saving faith in Jesus Christ soon. Please pray for them and us.

In Christ,

HIM Leader


Please pray for the people in this village. Shirley and I have worked in this village many times. "The rice field is truly ready." Over the years we have seen many Hmong come to Christ here. God contines to open hearts in this village. Please pray for HIM Leader as he returns there from time to time.

HIM Leader's Report from Nan, Phayao, and Chiang Rai Provinces

HIM Leader's Report from three provinces:

Dear Fran and at all

Just to keep you up date on Hmong Ministry of Northern Thai today at Ban Pam Poei, Nan. We met with several Hmong and had a long discussion with them. God touched many hearts. Two families promised that they will become Christian soon. They will call me within this week and as many as 10 families may be involved. Please
pray for them that God might inspire them and bring them into saving faith in Jesus Christ soon.

Secondly, in regard to our trip to Phayao and Chiang Rai, we met with a lot of people in building friendship with them, sharing the gospel, and discussed Christ with them. Many people were interested in the gospel. They want to become Christians but I live far away from them. They need to know the Bible, prayer, regarding Spiritual growth or Spiritual nurturing. The rice field is ripe but a few workers. Please pray for more workers.

In Christ,

HIM Leader


The plea from HIM Leader is "The rice field is ripe." Everywhere he goes, many Hmong want to know about Jesus, but he is only one man. Xeng and Bangyat have their work and can only help out when some wanting to know more live close to them.

Please pray for more workers. I pray that more of our Hmong brothers in the US will come and help. I pray that they will support this work with their donations. Even though HIM Leader lives far away from most of these villages, we could do more. It cost a lot to have 100 plus Lao Hmong to meet HIM Leader on the border. It cost about $75 to $100 to do a Coffee Club for Hmong village leaders. There is so much more that could be done.

Thank you for your prayers!

HIM thanks all who have prayed for this work. We thank The Bible League of Thailand for all that it has done for the HIM Leader.
