Introduction

The Dusadh are often employed as village watchmen and messengers. Their primary vocation is seeking alms while singing Kapila Mangal and Sitala Mangal songs. Some work in agriculture. They worship several Hindu deities. Christians need to serve these people by helping improve their living conditions. There is a need for friendships based on trust.

Ministry Obstacles

Christian workers need to note the extreme poverty of the Dusadh community, and not neglect their material and physical needs.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Entire People Group

Ask God to provide good schools for their children and the desire in the Dusadh to send their children to school.
Ask God to pave the way to improve their standard of living.
Pray for Christian believers and singers to be found among the Dusadh, and that they will be zealous in teaching the community to know and serve the Lord.
