Today we are privileged to get a tour of an ancient Miao Village. We thought we were going to do this the other day, but the cost was too high. We will be touring with another adoption agency's group; the cost is much more reasonable, less than half of what our travel guide was going to charge. The trip will be about 50KM, and take about 1 hour 20 minutes by small bus. (They had room for us and invited us last night at dinner to join them.) This was supposed to be the day we tour the orphanage, but the details for that are still being worked out. Tomorrow is our last day in Guiyang City. We continue to be blessed with wonderful weather. Another high 60's today, with part sun. Our flight to Guangzhou is scheduled for 6:40PM Friday, which is 6:40 AM in Michigan, the same day. Only 1 hour 15 minute flight.
Some quick facts on the Miao People:
- Animists (believe in spirits)
- More than 8 million lost without Christ (89%)
- Trapped by persecuting governments
- Isolated by high mountains
- Only 3 of 80 Miao languages have Scriptures
- Poor and oppressed
- Friendly and hospitable
- Lovers of music, dance, and art
- In need of the Good News
Have a blessed day!!
