The Pagadai are a scheduled caste living in Tamil Nadu. They speak Telugu and Tamil and read and write in Tamil.

The Pagadai work as sweepers in the towns and as agricultural laborers in the rural regions. They have a low literacy level, so the gospel will need to be given in oral form in addition to written form. They use indigenous and traditional medicines.
The Pagadai prefer cross-cousin marriages. They are endogamous, which means they prefer marriages within their community. Women help with financial matters.
They are not vegetarian. They eat beef and pork. Rice is their staple food.

These people need to realize that they cannot please God without being empowered by the Holy Spirit. They cannot have the Holy Spirit without Jesus Christ.

Pray for a movement of Jesus to heal and strengthen Pagadai communities.
Pray for the Pagadai people to understand and embrace that Jesus wants to bless their families and neighborhoods.
Pray for Holy Spirit anointed believers from the Pagadai people to change their society from within.
Pray for a movement in which the Holy Spirit leads and empowers disciples to make more disciples.
