History
[edit]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]
