Hmong Churches are churches of the China-based Hmong people. Hmong Churches tend to be Renewal churches.

History

The first missionaries to Laos were from the Netherlands. At that time, Laos was a French protectorate within French Indochina, governed by King Souligna Vongsa. ^[1] In 1947, Rev. Ted Andrianoff and his wife sailed from New York to Laos to do missionary work for the Christian and Missionary Alliance. ^[2] The majority of the people who converted to Christianity at that time were the Khmu and the Hmong people who spoke Green Hmong. ^[3] They accepted their first convert in 1950. By March 1951, 2,300 Laotian Hmong had converted to Christianity; four years later the number was 5,000. ^[2]

When Laos fell during the Vietnam War, thousands of Christian Hmong were evacuated and resettled in the United States. ^[2]
