Lhomi means "southern people."<br /> The Lhomi are a Tibetan people who have been influenced by non-Tibetans over the course of many centuries. This has led to the mixture of cultural, linguistic, and religious traits that today identify them as a distinct people group. They live in China, India and Nepal.</p> <br /> <h7>What Are Their Lives Like? </h7> <p>This independent tribe grows a few crops, in particular millet for making gruel and beer. They raise sheep for wool and meat, and weave cotton-like garments from wild sisal hemp.</p> <br /> <h7>What Are Their Beliefs? </h7> <p>The Lhomi believe in the existence of spirits and natural forces that control the affairs of their lives. Their religion has been described as "unrefined Buddhism.... Their shamans (animistic priests) are as active as the Buddhist lamas. Although animal sacrifice is abhorrent to orthodox Buddhists, the Lhomis make several ritual animal sacrifices during the year." Before millet is planted in September, the Lhomi kill three sheep to placate the patron deity of their village.</p> <br /> <h7>What Are Their Needs? </h7> <p>Due to the large foreign missionary contingent formerly based in Darjeeling, northeast India, many Lhomi there have some awareness of the gospel, and a few have believed in Christ. In recent years more than 100 Lhomi in Nepal have also put their faith in Christ.<br /> They are now sending evangelists to other people groups. Lhomi Scripture portions were first printed in 1976, and gospel recordings are also available. Despite the existence of Lhomi Christians in Nepal and India, it has proven difficult for the gospel to spread to their counterparts in Tibet, due to the political situation there and the tightly controlled borders.</p> <br /> <h7>Prayer Points</h7> <p>Pray that the Lhomi people will have a spiritual hunger that will open their hearts to the King of kings.<br /> Pray for loving workers who will disciple the Lhomi and teach them to disciple others.<br /> Pray for an unstoppable movement to Christ among all the Lhomi peoples in China, India and Nepal.</p> <br /> <p><a href="/assets/media/prayer/guides/scripture-prayers-for-the-peoples-of-the-world-en.pdf">Scripture Prayers</a> for the Lhomi in India.</p> <br /> <h7>References</h7> <p>Operation China, Asia Harvest, Copyrighted © Used with permission</p> <br /> <div class=""> <table class="table table-hover"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Profile Source:</strong>   Joshua Project   </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </p>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#generalinfo">General Info</a> </div> <div id="generalinfo" class="panel_collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="right update-btn"> <a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://joshuaproject.net/contact/general_submit?type=data&ctry=IN&id=18548">Submit update</a> </div> <div class="lang_columns"> <table class="table table-hover"> <tbody> <tr> <td>People Name General</td> <td><a href="/people_groups/18548">Lhomi</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="no_wrap">People Name in Country</td> <td>Lhomi</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="no_wrap">Pronunciation</td> <td> Low-mee </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alternate Names</td> <td> Kar Bhote; Karbhote; Kathe Bhote; Lhoket; Saapa; Shing; Shing Saapa; Shingsaba; Shingsawa; Singsawa; लहोमी </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Population this Country</td> <td> 1,900 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Population all Countries</td> <td> <a href="/people_groups/18548">4,900</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Total Countries</td> <td><a href="/people_groups/18548">3</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#indigenous" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="Well-established, multi-generational community originating in and characteristic of a particular region or country." >Indigenous</a></td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/global/progress" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="A five level scale estimating the progress of church planting among a people group, country or language." >Progress Scale</a></td> <td>2 <span class="progress-2 progress-dots">●</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#unreached" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="A people group whose number of followers of Christ and amount of resources make outside assistance necessary to reach the rest of the group with the gospel." >Unreached</a></td> <td>No</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#frontier-peoples">Frontier People Group</a></td> <td> No </td> </tr>  <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#workers" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="Estimated # of pioneer workers needed for initial church planting.
