Introduction

The Baloch claim their origins to be in Aleppo in what is now Syria. Tribal customs strongly affect their lives. They are separated into several tribes and subgroups, including the Korai. Korai Baloch men wear long shirts with long sleeves and loose pants. They sometimes wear turbans. Gold ornaments such as necklaces and bracelets adorn women as an important aspect of Baloch women's traditions. They usually wear a gold brooch that is used to fasten two parts of the dress together over the chest. They pass traditions to children through oral history retelling. The tradition of a Baloch mother singing lullabies to her children has played an important role in the transfer of knowledge from generation to generation for many centuries.

Ministry Obstacles

When there are few, if any, Christ followers in a community, it is very difficult to get a movement started. That is the case for the Korai Baloch.
