Pasi (Hindu traditions) in India
PAH-see

The legend about the origin of the community is that one day, a man was going to kill a number of cows. Parashuram was, at that time, practicing austerities in the jungle. Hearing the cries of the sacred animals, he rushed to their assistance, but the cow killer was aided by his friends. So Parashuram made five men out of kusha grass and brought them to life by letting drops of his perspiration fall on them. Hence arose the name Pasi, from the Hindi pasina (sweat).

Ministry Obstacles
This community speaks a number of languages, so they might need separate church planting projects for each language group.

Outreach Ideas
Stories from Scripture, films, recordings, and gospel radio will be helpful for each language spoken by the Pasi community. Pray that God would overthrow spiritual forces of darkness opposing the spread of his gospel.

Scripture Focus
"It will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."  Isaiah 25:9

Scripture Prayer
Pray that many from this people group learn to trust in the Lord’s salvation and rejoice in Him.

Prayer Focus
Pray for the followers of Christ that will soon develop within the Pasi community, that the Lord would provide pastors and teachers for them, and for them to become well-grounded in the faith, fully trusting in Christ. Pray the Pasi community would increasingly be aware of their need to know and follow the creator God.
