Megh, Hindu of India Viewing:  January 12, 2010   

Megh, Hindu of India
The Megh (or Meghwal) are a Scheduled Caste whose primary work is tanning hides and leatherwork. They worship Ram Devji and Bankar Mataji as the chief god and goddess of the community. Traditionally, they accept water and food from neighboring communities like the Bania, Brahman, Dangi, Meena, Kalal and others. Their literacy rate is very low.

Ministry Obstacles
The New Testament, Jesus film, and other tools are available. Workers are needed to take the Gospel message to this community.

Outreach Ideas
The Megh are largely illiterate, so oral means of communication is needed. Stories taken from Scripture, films and recordings of the Gospel may communicate well.

Pray for the followers of Christ
There may be no current believers among the Hindu Megh, but pray for those that will emerge. Pray they will accurately understand the message of the Gospel of Christ, and be able to teach it accurately to others in their community.

Pray for the entire people group
Pray for an improvement in living conditions for this low caste community, for educational opportunities for the children, and employment opportunities for the adults.

Scripture Focus
"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb." Revelation 7:9
