Christianity is a minority in Guizhou province of China. Gha-Mu and A-Hmao are ethnic groups with large share of Christians.

Sam Pollard was a missionary of China Inland Mission, who was active among the A-Hmao. [3] When the new government took power in 1949, Guizhou may have had about 40,000 Protestants.
