India
Dhangar

 

Introduction／History

The word dhangar is derived from the Sanskrit word dhenu, meaning cow. They keep a special breed of cows and buffalo known as Dhangar mhasi and Dhangar gai. Children are named after ancestors, gods and goddesses. The sacred thread is worn during marriage. The deities specially worshipped are Khandoba and Biroba. Their literacy rate is very low. 2,826,000 Dhangar live in India.

Ministry Obstacles

Their low literacy rate is an obstacle if the Gospel comes to them only in printed form, but isn't necessarily a large obstacle if it comes in oral form.

Outreach Ideas

Teams to carry Gospel films, recordings and stories from Scripture will be helpful.

Prayer
  • Pray for the Followers of Christ: Pray the Christian believers among the Dhangar community in India will become mature in the faith, able to have a bold, kind witness for Jesus to their neighbors.
  • Ask God Pray for the Entire People Group: Pray the Dhangar in India will increasingly hunger to know the creator God in a personal way.
