The Kucong language is a language of Vietnam, but most of the Kucong people live in China. The Kucong have lived in dire poverty for generations. In 1799 they experienced a major military defeat and began to collapse as a tribe. This defeat caused them to flee into the mountains, and from that point on they fragmented as a people and many died. The Kucong have been hated and oppressed by all other Lahu peoples. They are primarily Theravada Buddhists, in contrast to the majority of Lahu who are either animists or Christians.

There is no scripture reported to be available in the Kucong language, or other resources such as gospel recordings.

Pray the few followers of Jesus among the Kucong people will become spiritually mature and grow in numbers such that they can carry the gospel effectively to all of their tribe.

A missionary named H. A. Baker left a spiritual legacy at a Kucong village called Stony Stockade in an untraversed mountain ridge in Mojiang County, China. "The whole village of 29 households was converted after hearing Baker's fiery preaching, and they have earnestly adhered to the faith until this day." Please pray for believers remaining today from this missionary's labors.

Please pray for improved conditions for these oppressed people, in both China and Vietnam. Pray for friendly relations with neighboring peoples, and for better employment and educational opportunities.
