Khaikheli Sindhi in Pakistan

The Muslim Khaikheli are a tribal people who live in the Sindh province of Pakistan. The Khaikheli are a diverse group depending upon whether they live in cities or in rural areas. Urban Khaikheli take part in modern Pakistani society. They are employed in medicine, the entertainment industry, higher education, administration and politics. Rural Khaikheli work in agriculture and animal husbandry. It is common for rural Khaikheli men to carry rifles to protect their family, land and animals. The Khaikheli marry within their group. Families arrange marriages with the consent of the young people. Sons inherit property and the eldest son becomes head of the family after the death of his father. Caste councils settle legal disputes and promote their interests.

Ministry Obstacles

When there are few, if any, Christians in a community, gospel workers must start at the very beginning. They cannot simply win one or two people to the Lord. Unless they establish a group of Christian believers who are willing to disciple others, it will probably not last.

Scripture Focus

Pray for Khaikheli disciples who will spread Christ’s glory to others. Pray for workers needed to sow God's Word into Khaikheli families, healing and strengthening households with God's blessings. Pray that God would overthrow spiritual forces of darkness opposing the spread of his gospel among the Khaikheli. Pray that many of the Khaikheli would come to love God with their whole being and will walk in his ways. The primary language of the Khaikheli is Sindhi.
