The Meditation: PASTOR: Lord, you want to deploy us as an army. PEOPLE: You want us to be a force. We prefer to be an audience. PASTOR: Sadly, our churches are not filled with disciplined soldiers willing to sacrifice and ready to obey. PEOPLE: Like David, in a season of war, we have decided to exempt ourselves and stay home. PASTOR: Forgive us for being spiritually out-of-shape and unable to be rapidly deployed into the danger zone. PEOPLE: Forgive us for being more like a MASH unit, than a group of veteran marines.

The Unreached People Group The Profile … The Banjara are the largest gypsy group in India and are known as the root gypsies of the earth. The majority of Banjara are Hindu; some have combined Hindu practices with their own animistic beliefs. Many Banjara live in poverty. Usually the only clothes a Gypsy owns are the ones on his back. Most children do not attend schools because their families are always on the move. The Banjara do not have a written language, so depending on whatever state of India they are in, if they read, it must be in that states' script. The Unreached People Group Banjara, India Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

The Unreached People Group Prayer … Pray that the Banjara, rejected by society, would feel accepted by God. Ask God to provide creative ways to evangelize the Banjara, such as the Hosanna music tape with Lambadi songs and the Gospel message. Pray for witnessing opportunities to Banjara children.
