Who they are
The Ming form an ethnic community in southwestern China, with historical roots linked to the integration between the Qiang and Han peoples. Speakers of Mandarin variants, they preserve strong community bonds and distinct traditions in their rural villages in the mountains of Sichuan. With no known presence of local Christians, they live far from major urban centers and without direct contact with the Good News.
