Christian Churches Among Yobin/Lisu

Written by: Liahey, Data collected by: Simasa

Church at Nibodi Village (Photo taken: October 2011).

We were curious how many churches are there among the Lisu. We counted only the churches that 1) Have separate building/campus or meet at home, and 2) Use primarily Lisu language as medium of worship.

In the table: Yes (has a church), No (No church), House (Meet at home)

SUMMARY:

NO	Village	Church of Christ	Church of Christ (Non Instrumental)	Believers Church
1	Aguchi	House	No	No
2	Badadi	House	No	No
3	Dawodi	Yes	No	No
4	Hazolo	Yes	No	No
5	Miao	Yes	Yes	No
6	Ngwazakha	Yes	No	Yes
7	Nibodi (52 Miles)	Yes	No	No
8	Shidi	Yes	Yes	No
9	Shidiku	Yes	No	No
10	Sichoto (77 Miles)	Yes	No	No
11	Yacheyley (65 Miles)	House	No	No
12	Yibudi	House	No	No

OBSERVATION:

• Only in three villages, there are two separate churches.
• Four newer villages run their services at home. They actually do not have regular pastor to share God’s Word with them.
• Church of Christ continues to meet the spiritual needs of most of our people.
