“Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a great egg. From this great egg, life came forth…”. The introduction to a Shan Dai creation story reveals that they have a great need for truth. God desires for the Shan Dai to know who He is, how He created all things and that He has a blessed life available for them. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…” (Genesis 1:1). From that starting point, many events took place leading up to Abraham—known as the “father of faith”—and the covenant he received from God that all people on earth have a way to be blessed. “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you…and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:2-3 NIV). Creator God, we are blessed beyond measure because of You. You created us in Your very image and Jesus has remedied the sin of mankind, restoring our broken relationship with You. Amazingly, all who call upon the name of Jesus become the children of God. As Your children with access to You, we cry out on behalf of the Shan Dai people. Father, may they know You as their Creator, Redeemer and Guide for all times. Lord, You are fulfilling Your promise within us. What an awesome opportunity we have to faithfully pray for the Shan Dai that they too will enter into Your Kingdom. May they be blessed by You. Living out of the richness of that blessing, may their love grow both towards You and towards people, expanding Your Kingdom of blessedness.
