Pray for the Chayakkaran of India
Chayakkaran of India
Population: 41,000
Religion: Hinduism
Please pray for the Chayakkaran who are still an unreached, unengaged people living in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, - India's two southernmost states. They speak, read, and write in Tamil. They do not have high caste status, but their status is not low either.
The Chayakkaran's work involves dyeing and weaving. The women are involved with this work. In modern India, some now work in cultivation and in business and trading. The Chayakkaran practice cousin marriages. Widowers can marry again. When the father dies, both sons and daughters get a share of the property.
Hinduism is their formal religion, and they also worship their ancestors.
The Chayakkaran people need the abundant life that only Jesus offers. They need to hear the truth about who created them and who can guide them to the paths of righteousness.
Pray for their spiritual hunger for the Truth, the Life, and the Way. Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers to this unreached people group. Jesus said in Luke 10:2, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Is that worker you?
Are you willing to leave home, family (aka - your brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, grandchildren), fields or property for Jesus’ sake and the gospel?
