Patti here - it's my day to write some articles for the Global Prayer Digest about unreached people groups. This particular article tore at my heart. I hope it will tug at yours enough to offer a prayer for this unusual group.
E People of China
Imagine being named a letter of the Alphabet. Yet, in China there is a tiny flower in God’s garden of humanity called the “E” people. They number only 30,000, and a missionary doctor who died in 1927 lamented this about the E: “Men and women are toiling without a Bible, without a Sunday, without a prayer, without songs of praise. They have rulers without justice, homes without peace, marriage without sanctity, young men and women without ideals, little children without purity or innocence, mothers without wisdom or self-control, poverty without relief or sympathy, sickness without skillful help or tender care, sorrow and crime without remedy, and worst of all, death without Christ.”
There is no knowledge of Jesus Christ or His gospel at all among the E. There is not known to be one Christian in their midst.
Let us remember that we do not struggle against flesh and blood. It is our duty to pray against the deception that veils the hearts and minds of the E. Jesus has been given all authority over heaven and earth and scripture says that what we bind on earth is bound in heaven in His name. Pray that deception will be bound and cast down in the hearts of the E. Also, pray that Christian workers will be called to the E to tell them of the good news, and their released souls will accept the gift of salvation with great joy.
Blessings as you pray today for those without Jesus. Love, Patti
