Remember GX: Pan Yao

Named after their king of legend, the Pan Yao is an important branch of the Yao people. Outsiders refer to the women by the variations in their headwear, including White Head, Red Head, and Pointed Head. Referring to themselves as “Mian” meaning “people,” they practice polytheism and ancestor worship. The Pan King Festival is highly important, during which people sing, dance, set up altars, hang statues of different deities, and worship their ancestral Pan King.

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers. Rev 17:14

May the Hongshuihe Central Zhuang come to know the One who provides them with the water of life and accept the eternal spring of water from JC.
