Who Are the Akha?

The Akha are a resilient hill tribe living in the mountainous regions of northern Laos. With strong oral traditions and tightly knit spiritual customs, their identity is rooted in ancestor worship and animistic rituals. Life is marked by subsistence farming, seasonal rhythms, and social hierarchy. Although Gospel resources exist in their language, the Akha remain largely unreached—isolated by geography, language, and deeply embedded cultural beliefs.

Prayer Points

Open Hearts
Pray that the Akha will encounter Jesus through dreams, relationships, and Scripture in their own language.
Faithful Witnesses
Ask God to send long-term workers and raise up local believers to live among the Akha and share the Gospel.
Spiritual Breakthrough
Intercede for the dismantling of spiritual strongholds and for Christ-centered churches to take root in Akha communities.
