SHARE:
This is a surname or an ethnic group. What they have in common is Islam and a certain ancestral origin. They live in West Bengal and speak Bengali.
Most are traders and small business owners. Others are educators, farmers or government employees.
The Bajikar people are defined by the Islamic religion. They celebrate Islamic festivals like other Muslims, but they also have their own religious traditions.
The Bajikar people need to put their trust and identity in the hands of the loving God of creation who sent his son to make it possible for them to enter the Kingdom of God.
Pray for a "Book of Acts" type of movement to Christ among the Bajikar people.
Pray God will have mercy on the Bajikar, doing whatever it takes to place them in a position to receive him.
Ask God to open the hearts of the Bajikar to the gospel.
Pray for an unstoppable movement to Christ among them.
