Lisu Church is a Christian church of an ethnic minority of southern China and Myanmar. Missionaries had been working in the Lisu area since the the early 20th century. Today there are an estimated 300,000 Lisu believers.
In Myanmar, the Lisu is known as one of the seven Kachin minority groups and an estimated population of 350,000 Lisus live in Kachin and Shan state in Myanmar.
Lisu history is passed from one generation to the next in the form of songs.
John Kuhn and his wife Isobel, Eugene Morse continued the working Fraser died, but by that time the Lisuchurch was already self propagating, and were sending their own missionaries to tribes that had not yet been converted.
The Lisu are believed to originate from eastern Tibet, but recent historical linguistic work by Dr. David Bradley indicates that they moved to eastern Tibet/northwestern Yunnan in the 18th century.
Lisus in Arunachal Pradesh, who were believed to have migrated from the Patkai Hills, are generally Christians.
