Summary
The Bhurtia derive their community name from the term "bhul," because they believe that God ordained them to pursue the occupation of buffalo grazing. They often use Singh as their surname. Their family deities are Dulhadeo, Sitala Devi, Thakur Baba, and Panch Piria; village deities are DSh and Garbara Devi, and their regional deity is Bindyabasim Devi. Their sacred specialists are a priest and a sorcerer. Child marriage and bride price are prevalent practices.
Ministry Obstacles
Madhya Pradesh (the primary home of this people group) has stern laws limiting conversions to Christianity.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:4
Pray
Pray for this people group to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to proclaim the greatness of God.
Pray their hearts will be prepared as the gospel comes to them. Pray that the Bhurtia will have many opportunities to hear the good news of Christ in ways they understand. Pray for Bhurtia disciples to make many more disciples.
