There are about seventy families in Nongmonta, which is a population of about 300 people and they are divided into are three, small groups. Nongmonta village is a countryside village with no electricity. Transportation is difficult because the location is in mountaneous areas. It takes three-four hours of travel from the city. The people who live there are Karens, There are no temples, churches, or moral teachings and the people believe in spirits, which is why the people’s lifestyle circulates around drinking and confusion.
The Nongmonta people first heard the gospel from a man named Puna, who left his village (Paka). After many years, the Paka people thought that he already died, but one day he came back to his village. He is married to the daughter of the chief of Nongmonta Village. Puna testified that during the years that he was not in his village, he shared the Gospel to the people in Nongmonta and lead many souls to Christ. This testimony encouraged and burdened the Christian elders in Paka Village to minister to the Nongmonta people.
From that moment forward, the church became confident that there would be much fruit in Nongmonta. So the church prayed that God would send out workers to teach and evangelize. Finally the church sent Kingtong as an evangelist and changes occured. The village’s witch doctor became a Christian and his wife was miraculously healed by the power of God. Even though there isn’t a church building, there are already people who regularly come to worship the Lord. We want to challenge you to pray and to financially support Nongmonta Village that they will have enough money to build a church building.
