PRINT VERSION:
SHARE:
Dadhi means "beard" in Hindi and Urdu. It is a surname common to Indian Muslims. They often live in Gujarat.
One can find members of the Dadhi community working in various professions: trade, farming or government service.
This group is entirely Sunni Muslim. They also have their own religious traditions.
The Dadhi people need to be given the chance to hear the life-changing gospel so they can enjoy life to the full.
Pray for loving gospel workers to catch a vision for reaching the Dadhi people for Jesus and that in God's sovereign timing the hearts of these people would be open and ready to follow him.
Pray for Jesus movements to bless extended families so the gospel will spread rapidly.
Pray for the spiritual lives of the Dadhi people to become fruitful so others will be drawn to Jesus Christ.
