Description: The Brahui are the northernmost Dravidian speaking people, whose homeland is in Kalat, Pakistan. Their separation by 1,000 miles from the Dravidians of South India remains a mystery. They are divided into 29 tribal groups, eight of which are regarded as the "original" Brahui tribes.
Prayer Points:
• The Brahui live among the Baloch tribe and many are assimilating to Balochi culture. Pray that the recent breakthrough among the Baloch might have an impact on nearby Brahui families.
• The Brahui have 29 tribal divisions which are ruled by chieftans called sardars, and by hereditary sectional leaders called takkri. Intercede for the deployment of workers for each of these tribal divisions and for open doors and hearts among their leaders.
• The Pakistani government has moved slowly with development among the Brahui. Pray for creativity among missionaries in approaching the vast needs facing this complex tribe, as their society and economy transitions from ancient patterns to modern realities.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, build your church among the Brahui. Break down every wall and loosen every chain of those whom you are drawing to yourself.
Every year 22,000 Brahui die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
