Changgar in Pakistan
chahn-GAR
The Muslim Changgar people group can be found in many areas of society, equally found among the poor and the rich, the educated and illiterate, as well as landlords and religious leaders. There is no way to summarize their lifestyles. Some Changgar have become educated and work as professionals in Pakistani cities. Changgar who live in rural areas practice animal husbandry and agriculture. Men nurture herds of goats and flocks of sheep, as many families have plots of land. The Changgar trade surplus animal products and produce for cell phones and appliances. Western Punjabi is their language, and it has many gospel materials.
Ministry Obstacles
With few, if any, Christ followers among this people group, the Changgar have few examples of visible Christianity in action.
Scripture Focus
"The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever." Psalm 29:10
Scripture Prayer
Pray that many will understand that God is the undisputed King of kings, and beside Him there is no other.
Prayer Focus
Pray for signs and wonders to occur among the Changgar and for great breakthroughs to take place, with a rapid multiplication of disciples and house churches to follow God’s work.
Ask God to send workers who will share the gospel with the Changgar.
Pray that the Lord would soften the hearts of the leaders of the Changgar and make them open to hearing the good news.
