Bhisti in India
The term bihishti is derived from the Persian word
bihisht, meaning paradise, and they were so named on account of the
services they rendered to thirsty soldiers. They claim their ancestry
from Hazrat Abbas Alamdar, who went to fetch water from a pond in a
skin-bag to quench the thirst of the followers of Imam Husain on their
way to Damascus. The Bihishti belong to the Sunni sect of Islam. They
venerate their village deity, Khera Dev.Ministry Obstacles
The Bhisti may well have an inadequate understanding of who Isa (Jesus) of the Koran truly is. Pray the Lord will open their eyes.
Outreach Ideas
Much prayer and many dedicated workers are needed. Stories from Scripture concerning the person and work of Christ will be helpful.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray the Lord will begin to call out believers. Pray they will be adequately instructed in the faith, and will grow to maturity in Christ.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the Bhisti community will increasingly thirst for Living Water.
