The Hadis are a low class sweeper community. They have always held this low status position. They live all throughout eastern India.
The Hadi people have few options for jobs. Not many can get an adequate education to get beyond menial work.
The Hadi people practice Hinduism, the ancient religion of India. Hinduism is a catch-all phrase for the local religions of South Asia, so it is very diverse. At the popular level, Hindus worship and serve the gods of the Hindu pantheon. They do not have a personal or familial relationship with their gods like Christians or Jews.
Almost all Hindus participate in yearly celebrations like Holi, the festival of colors and the start of spring / Diwali, the festival of lights / Navratri, the celebration of autumn / and Rama Navami, Rama's birthday.
The Hadi people need to put their hope in the King of kings, realizing that he is the one who gives them worth and dignity.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will give courage to thousands of Hadi to seek and find the only savior, Jesus Christ, who gives dignity to all peoples.
Pray that Indian believers will demonstrate that following Christ is not a foreign religion but an international faith.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to thrust out loving workers to the Hadi people.
Scripture Prayers for the Hadi in India.
