Nagarchi (Muslim traditions) in Bangladesh
nuh-GAR-chee

In the past, when ceremonies and celebrations were being planned in the villages of Bangladesh, it was the Nagarchi who were called upon to serve as drummers. Today, many of them have given up their drums to farm and raise livestock in central Bangladesh. Reaching this small, unique people group is a challenge. They embody what Jesus meant when he commissioned us to go into all the world to make disciples.

Ministry Obstacles
Most of the Nagarchi are Hindu. The Muslim Nagarchi mingle with the Hindus and have even adopted some of their religious practices. They need their eyes opened to see that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that there is no way to peace with God other than through him.

Outreach Ideas
It will take bold, loving workers to go to these Muslims in Bangladesh.

Scripture Focus
"Young men and maidens together, old men and children! Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven."  Psalm 148:12-13

Scripture Prayer
Pray for all generations from this people group to worship and praise the Lord.

Prayer Focus
Pray for workers willing to venture to this harvest field and share the good news of salvation with the Nagarchi. Ask the Lord to prepare the hearts of the Nagarchi to receive the gospel message and pray for many families to respond to his invitation. Ask the Lord to establish a church planting movement among them.
