Bhangi, Hindu of Bangladesh
The Bhangi are a
Scheduled Caste, and were traditionally associated with scavenging,
sweeping, basket-making, etc. Their women are considered equal in family
matters, participate on an equal footing in social and religious
matters, and contribute to the family income. A few of the Bhangi living
in cities are educated. Hanuman, Chamunda, Ambamata, and other gods and
goddesses are regularly worshipped. Many of the Bhangi are followers of
Kabir, Ramanandi, Nanak, etc.
Ministry Obstacles
Spiritual opposition to the Gospel is always an issue, perhaps especially so in South Asia. Much prayer is needed to withstand spiritual opposition.
Outreach Ideas
There are a few reported Christian believers in this group in Bangladesh. And in India, there are a number of believers in this community. Perhaps Christians in the Bhangi community in India will be led by God's Spirit to help their brethren in Bangladesh. Pray to this end.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray that the few believers among the Bhangi will have access to scripture in both printed and audio form. Pray they will be given a hunger for God's Word.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray for this low caste community, that their education level will rise in the future, and that they will find adequate employment opportunities.
Scripture Focus
"All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will worship before You." Psalm 22:27 | ||
