This redemptive analogy has been hidden in their culture for many centuries and is now being used to help them understand the message of the true sacrificial lamb who died for the sins of the whole world. Pray that God would deliver the Kham people from their fear of evil spirits. Many Shamans kill themselves because they are so unhappy.
