Badhik in India
Badhik traditionally hunted animals and trapped birds and sold them for their livelihood. Currently, they are butchers and also engage in various forms of agriculture. They offer their services for the ceremonial slaughter of animals. Badhik place themselves among the Sudra in the Hindu varna order. They marry within the community. Being Hindu, they observe most Hindu festivals.
Ministry Obstacles
This small, low-status caste probably has a low literacy rate and virtually no access to the gospel message. Uttar Pradesh, the home state of the Badhik, is a place where perhaps only one in 1,000 bows their knee to Jesus Christ. Who will go there with the gospel?
Scripture Focus
"But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall." Malachi 4:2
Scripture Prayer
Pray that this people group would fear the name of the Lord and experience His healing.
Prayer Focus
Rural areas have few amenities, and the scale of human suffering is immense. Please pray for improved health care facilities throughout the state.
Pray for Christ followers to fill the role of health care.
Pray for the Badhik to experience God's blessings in such a way they cannot deny his true identity.
Pray that soon there will be Badhik disciples making more disciples.
