Brokpa, Bhutan

Beautiful Brokpa woman of Bhutan
This week, as we continue to study our book "From Akebu to Zapotec," by June Hathersmith, please join us in praying for the Brokpa (BROK-pa) people in Bhutan.  Bhutan is a small country in South Asia that lies between India and China, with the Great Himalaya mountain range on its northern border.

Yak... (pardon me.) 
The Brokpa people know all about shaggy mountain yaks, which make it possible for them to live in their very cold country.  Yaks provide wool, leather, meat, milk and cheese.  The Brokpas build their homes on very steep hills and herd their yaks on alpine pastures.  The country of Bhutan is 100% Buddhist, and the Brokpa people, who speak Brokkat, do not have the Bible in their own language.

For more information on this and other unreached people groups, please visit Joshua Project:  Bringing Definition to the Unfinished Task.

  4. Yes it is!!! I decorated Vianney's and Jacinto's bed room with pictures of the 26 Bibleless people groups of that book, hoping it to wake in them a vision and love for the unreached.
