Over the past 18 months we have been involved in church planting among an unreached people group known as the Pulang. There are millions of them living in parts of southwest China and northern Myanmar. Our focus is primarily on those who are living in Myanmar.

The first send-out was over 50 gospel preachers mostly from a Lisu Bible school that we are affiliated with and several full time national church planters from mainland China had come to help us in this great work. The results were encouraging: 32 new converts in close to 48 villages had come to Christ! The numbers are growing as additional trainings and sendings are underway.

On a monthly basis there are 10 full time national church planters who are traveling into these villages following up new converts, making disciples and training leaders. Each month, Firstlight has an active role in this partnership.
