Shabar tribes are very less in population which are found in South Eastern Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. There is a severe lack of education in this tribe. There is a lot of intoxication in the society and their children do not go to school. They worship nature. They are completely dependent on the forest for livelihood even today. Being financially weak, they works as daily wages workers.
South East Jharkhand (Patamda, Ghatsila), Odisha, Chhattisgarh state in India.
They are worshipers of nature.
Pray that the gospel would reache them. Pray for the education of children. Pray for pastors with the burden of working among them.
Scripture Prayers for the Shabar in India.
