Bondos Poraja are found in the hilly areas of Odisha. They are a small tribe with their own language, Bondo.
They are primarily agriculturalists, but also hunt, collect forest produce and work as laborers.
Bondo Porajas are mainly animistic in faith, but a few are Hindus. Most are hostile to outsiders. Missionaries who serve them demonstrate the love of God through their actions. God uses them to reveal himself and his power to heal.
Though the area is rich in resources, the Bondo Poraja are poverty stricken. Children with swollen bellies, an unhygienic environment and contaminated water sources are all common sights.
The team is also translating God's Word into Bondo. We can look forward to a day when Bondos hear the message of God's love in their own language and respond to His invitation.
Pray for sustainable development to meet the economic, social and educational needs of the Bondo Poraja community.
Pray for God to enable Christ followers to develop culturally acceptable forms for communicating the gospel, leading to their transformation.
Pray for the Bondo community to see the true, sinless Lamb of God, through the Word of God translated in their mother tongue.
