The Gospel

to the Hmong

When God sent his missionaries to Xieng Khouang, Laos in 1950, Boua Ya Thao became the first Hmong to accept Jesus Christ. After that thousands of Hmong came to Christ.

THE 3 STAGES OF THE HMONG CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT

From the first conversion to the formation of the Evangelical Church of Laos, the exodus out of Laos to the sustainability during the refugee era in Thailand, and the establishment of the first Hmong Field Conference of the C&MA to the thriving Hmong District of the C&MA

1950 - 1975

The gospel came to the Hmong in Xieng Khouang, Laos, the first council was convened, the Evangelical Church of Laos was established, the first 3 waves of pastors were trained, the Hmong Latin Written Language was developed, and the Hmong Bible Translation began. After Laos fell to Pathet Lao, many Hmong including Hmong Christian fled the country, became refugees in Thailand, and later resettled in Western countries.

1976-2000

After the exodus out of Laos, Hmong Christian continues to gather and worship God, minister to the believers and share the gospel to the Hmong during the refugee era in Thailand and early day in America. They came together to establish the Hmong Field Conference, continue and complete the Hmong Bible Translation, the Hymnal Song Book, and continue to grow and became the Hmong District, one of the largest districts of the C&MA. They began to send out missionaries oversea.

2001 -2025

Hmong District continued sending missionaries and short-term missions team to both Hmong and non-Hmong, including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, China, Taiwan, Australia, France, North Africa, and the Middle East. There are currently over 110 churches and around 35,000 members and 250 pastors serving within the Hmong District of C&MA. From the first convert in 1950 in Laos, today there are about half a million Hmong Christian around the world. This estimate does not include Hmong Christian in China.

As early as late 1975, Hmong people began settling in the United States, especially those with first class resettlement status or those who worked directly with the US government. When Hmong first arrived, they lived wherever their sponsors live, but as more and more Hmong came over, they began to move together and formed their own community. At first, Hmong Christians went to church with their sponsors, but later formed their own groups. In 1978, the Christian and Missionary Alliance and Hmong pastors and leaders met in Rolling J. Ranch, Lake Hugh, CA and formed the Hmong Field Conference which later became the Hmong District of C&MA as we know today.
