Most Sunris in Bangladesh earn their living through farming, trade, fishing, and being household service workers. They have made good progress in the field of education.

All Sunri subgroups are tightly connected to their Hindu beliefs, and there are apparently only a few believers among them. Living in a predominantly Muslim country, the Hindu Sunris in Bangladesh have learned to stay close to their community, and not allow outsiders to influence their spiritual lives.

The Sunris have low status among Hindus. It is possible that the best people to go to them would be people from similar Hindu communities in India.

Pray that the few followers of Christ in the Sunri community of Bangladesh will shine the light of Jesus in a land where spiritual darkness reigns. Pray for leaders of Sunri families and clans to accept the blessings and responsibility of following Christ, and to encourage others to do the same. Pray that they will be willing to be discipled in His ways so that their entire community is transformed into the likeness of Christ.
