Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1980s, a radio program with a compelling spiritual message was accidentally received by listeners in Vietnam’s remote northern highlands. The Protestant evangelical communication had been created in the Hmong language by the Far East Broadcasting Company specifically for war refugees in Laos. The Vietnamese Hmong related the content to their traditional expectation of salvation by a Hmong messiah-king who would lead them out of subjugation, and they appropriated the evangelical message for themselves. Today, the New Way (Kev Cai Tshiab) has some three hundred thousand followers in Vietnam. Tam T. T. Ngo reveals the complex politics of religion and ethnic relations in contemporary Vietnam and illuminates the dynamic interplay between local and global forces, socialist and postsocialist state building, cold war and post–cold war antagonisms, Hmong transnationalism, and U.S.-led evangelical expansionism.

Download or read book Hmong Ethnohistory written by Jack Davidson and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today over 115,000 Laotian Hmong reside in the United States. They are descendan ts of an ancient Asian people who originally lived in China but who have during the past several hundred years migrated into Indochina. This dissertation addres ses the cultural history of these people. The author gathered his data through p articipant observation, interviews (utilizing interpreters when necessary), and library research. The goal of the project was to allow the Hmong to tell their o wn story. This was accomplished to some degree by quoting Hmong interviewees and utilizing Hmong sources. A major innovation in Hmong society in Laos was the in troduction and acceptance of Christianity by large numbers beginning in 1950. Fa milies and entire villages gave up the spirit cult and embraced Christianity. Al an Tippett's Triangle of Personal Relationships model is used to explore the var ious dimensions of this spiritual awakening. Fully acknowledging that the people movement was a supernatural work of the Spirit of God, the model aids in highli ghting the fact that conversion is a process involving many persons and forces. The approximately 20,000 Hmong Christians in the United States associated with t he Christian and Missionary Alliance are the spiritual fruit of the 1950 people movement. The technique of 'upstreaming' was employed, working from the present back against the flow of history. The time periods were 1975-1990: migration to the United States; 1950-1975: Christian era in Laos, and pre-Christian Laos and China. Not surprisingly the first two of these proved to be the richest in oral history data. Within the fairly recent history, the Hmong have lost two homeland s: China and Laos. A territory once occupied and lost has not eroded the Hmong s ense of identity. The author concluded that for the Hmong, who they are is more important than where they are. To be a Hmong is not to reside in a particular lo cation, but to speak the Hmong language and to be near one's family and clan. Th e author's recommendations and conclusions are found in chapter 9.

Download or read book Hmong Animism written by Long Khang and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmong are a group of people who are recorded to have been living in China since 3,000 BC. History indicates that Hmong fought many wars with the Chinese to resist assimilation, as well as to repel oppression. Many were forced to migrate out of China to neighboring Southeast Asian countries during the middle of the eighteenth century due to political oppression, later on settling in Western countries such as the United States. For thousands of years, Hmong animism was the only religion they believed and practiced. However, by the grace of God, a large number of Hmong have turned to Christ. The book, Hmong Animism: A Christian Perspective offers a comparative religious study on the two belief systems. It explains Hmong animists belief in reincarnation, shamanism, and the worship of ancestors, household demons and wild demons in comparison to Hmong Christians beliefs in God and the Savior Jesus Christ."

Download or read book Contextualization of the Gospel Within Hmong Churches written by Nhia Heurh and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Hmong Christian churches today, leaders face the struggle to embrace their culture without compromising their Christian faith. The Hmong worldview, practices, and traditions often times clash with core biblical truths. As a result, Hmong Christian leaders are in a state of struggle between their ethnicity and their Christian faith. Hence, the purpose of this thesis is to study the contextualization of the gospel within Hmong Christian churches in the Twin Cities. The goal is to discover which cultural aspects are still practiced by Hmong Christian leaders, and whether or not they align with core biblical truths. Local Hmong Christian pastors were interviewed using a set of research questions in order to extract the interaction between Hmong religion and culture and the Christian faith. This thesis was to test the hypothesis that Hmong Christian leaders can contextualize the gospel and practice some aspects of tradition Hmong culture."--leaf 5.

Download or read book The Hmong Spiritual Formation from Animism to Christianity written by Lang Yang and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research project is on the Hmong religion. Hmong people believe in a faith called "Animism – the way of the spirit," which is a created religion that they practiced and passed down from generation to generation. The Hmong like to live in the past and do not want to change their customs, traditions, and cultural practices that their ancestors practiced for centuries. They put all their hope in their dead ancestors' spirits to guide them until a new religion appeared to them, and it is called "the Christian faith." The Christian faith brings new hope to the Hmong people, and it also created divisions and limitations to the Hmong Christians, their families, friends, and relatives. The family would reject those who convert for choosing another religion over the one they worship, and there are some Hmong Christians who still practice the animistic faith to please their family. They would say that it is their custom and tradition, and their way to honor their family. The researcher must survey by interviewing participants who were once an animistic believer and now a Christian why they still hold on to something that cannot give them hope and believe in a faith that is not alive. Christians must present the Gospel effectively to the Hmong people so that they can become a follower of Christ. They must worship only one God and not two to have eternal life because Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life." (John 14:6).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Traces the unique route through which Hmong in Vietnam discovered Christianity and appropriated it for themselves. Although a significant proportion of Vietnam's population has been Catholic since the days of French colonialism, the Hmong continued animistic spiritual practices shared across Hmong populations throughout Southeast Asia in the remote highland areas where most of them lived. After the Vietnam War, the Far East Broadcasting Company started an evangelical program in Hmong language targeting war refugees in Laos. In the mid-1980s this radio signal was accidentally received by listeners in Vietnam's Northern Highland, who related the content to their traditional expectation of salvation by a Hmong messiah-king who would lead them out of subjugation. Actual missionaries, mostly Laotian Hmong refugees in the US, eventually arrived to help them routinize their new Protestant faith. Today, this New Way (Kev Cai Tshiab) is the claimed religion of roughly one third of a million Hmong in Vietnam. This ethngraphic study describes what happened when some Hmong decided to become Protestants while many of their kin kept their traditional religion, how the communist state views their religious activities, and the global dimensions of Hmong Protestant life. Hmong conversion serves as a lens for viewing the complex politics of religion and ethnic relations in contemporary Vietnam and illuminates larger issues such as the dynamic interplay between local and global forces, socialist and post-socialist state-building, Cold War and post-Cold War antagonisms, Hmong transnationalism, and US-led evangelical expansionism"--

This book was released on 2021 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study the lived experience of Hmong women in church leadership are explored. The findings of the studies show that the experience of Hmong women leaders in the Hmong Assemblies of God churches is uniquely multi-dimensional. This study found that they must navigate the complexities of traditional Hmong cosmology, cultural norms, gender norms, and the inter-dynamics between the Hmong culture and the Christian faith. This study found that Hmong women in church leadership experienced inhibiting Hmong cultural impacts, transformative Christian theology impacts, difficult cultural expectations, unsupportive and supportive individuals, the importance of gaining trust, internal struggles, and generational differences.

Download or read book Healing by Heart written by Kathie Culhane-Pera and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing by Heart is a book of stories--stories of people's search for culturally responsive health care from U.S. providers. It offers resources to providers and institutions committed to delivering culturally responsive health care, paying special attention to building successful relationships with traditional Hmong patients and families. It makes available extensive information about the health-related beliefs, practices, and values of the Hmong people, including photographs of traditional healing methods. Ranging in age from young infants to older adults, the patients in the stories present a wide range of health problems. The clinicians are from family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, psychiatry/psychology, and hospice. Each of the fourteen case stories is accompanied by discussion questions as well as two or three commentaries. The commentaries--written by patients, family members, shaman, Western clinicians (including Hmong physicians, nurses, and social workers), medical anthropologists, health care ethicists, social workers, psychologists, and clergy--are rich in personal reflections on cross-cultural health care experiences. Readers are rewarded with a combination of perspectives, including those of Hmong authors who have not previously published in English and scholars with years of professional experience working with the Hmong in Laos, Thailand, and the United States. The editors offer a model for delivering culturally responsive health care with special attention to matters of cross-cultural health care ethics. The model identifies questions health care providers can focus on as they seek to understand the health-related moral commitments and practices prevalent in the cultural groups they serve, ethical questions that arise frequently and with great poignancy in cross-cultural health care relationships, and points to consider when a patient's treatment wish challenges the provider's professional integrity. By sharing stories of suffering, confusion, and success, Healing by Heart couples an accessible method of learning about others with concrete recommendations about how to enhance cross-cultural health care relationships.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Christianity in Asia written by Felix Wilfred and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named by the International Bulletin of Missionary Studies as an Outstanding Book of 2014 for Mission Studies Despite the ongoing global expansion of Christianity, there remains a lack of comprehensive scholarship on its development in Asia. This volume fills the gap by exploring the world of Asian Christianity and its manifold expressions, including worship, theology, spirituality, inter-religious relations, interventions in society, and mission. The contributors, from over twenty countries, deconstruct many of the widespread misconceptions and interpretations of Christianity in Asia. They analyze how the growth of Christian beliefs throughout the continent is linked with the socio-political and cultural processes of colonization, decolonization, modernization, democratization, identity construction of social groups, and various social movements. With a particular focus on inter-religious encounters and emerging theological and spiritual paradigms, the volume provides alternative frames for understanding the phenomenon of conversion and studies how the scriptures of other religious traditions are used in the practice of Christianity within Asia.
