WHO ARE WE?

The Hmong International Mission is a ministry of the Hmong Mission Society (LCMS). The mission was founded by a group of LCMS members from Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois.

The history of this mission began in 2000 with Rev. Yia Vang desire to expand the LCMS Hmong mission in North America to the Hmong people in Thailand and Southeast Asia.. He shared his desire with a member of his congregation (Dr. Fungchatou Lo) and they spreaded words to other congregations and a trip were actually took place on November 2001. The people who took the trip spent about two weeks visiting Hmong villages in Northern Thailand sharing the Gospel and seeking for men to be trained for the mission. In April of 2004, a group 34 people at the Klong Hoi Klai village were baptized and a leader was installed to serve the people. A congregation was born! From there on the mission began to expand and more people were brought to faith and more leaders were recruited to be trained as pastors.
