Introduction / History

The Barad people are also called the Barar, the Burar or the Berar.
Most live in Himachal Pradesh, a state in northern India where less than one in a thousand has put their faith in Christ.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Traditionally these rural people have made winnowing fans and grass mats. Some beg for a living. Their literacy rate is extremely low, even by the standards of the developing world. They give women equal status to men. Unlike many people groups in India, they do not practice child marriage; they are much more likely to marry as teenagers.


What Are Their Beliefs?

These Hindus worship and propitiate the gods of Hinduism and their own family and clan gods.


What Are Their Needs?

Like most of the communities in northern India, the Barad people have few if any chances to respond to the abundant life Jesus offers in John 10:10.


Prayer Points

Pray that the Barad people will put all their faith in the God who created them.
Pray for the Lord to thrust out loving workers to the Barad people.
Pray for them to prosper spiritually through a relationship with Christ.
