Ho in Bangladesh

The Ho are known for their independent nature, which has historically separated them from the rule of powerful Hindus. The tribe's culture is intertwined with the natural world. They are most comfortable in the forest environment that supplies many of their necessities. Their major agricultural crop is rice, which they ferment to make beer.

Ministry Obstacles

The New Testament is printed in the Ho language and some mission agencies work among them. Mission efforts have led to a small community of Christ followers, but there is a need for more outreach.

Outreach Ideas

Utilizing the availability of the New Testament and the already existing connections with the Ho will help to reach them. Prayer will also be an important tool.
