Introduction

The Chik are farmers in Bihar, India, and some of them own their land. Their income is largely derived from the slaughter of goats and sheep. Surprisingly, a Chik man can have four wives at a time, something that is much more common with Muslims than Hindus. Unlike most Hindus, they bury their dead. They speak Hindi, a language that has gospel radio broadcasts and the JESUS Film.

Ministry Obstacles

Hinduism breeds a mindset where there are many possibilities. Few would consider the idea that there is one God and one savior.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that God will give Chik elders dreams and visions leading them to Jesus Christ.
Pray for loving workers to go to them to help them begin a movement to Christ in the coming years.
Pray for a spiritual hunger that will lead the Chik to the cross and the empty grave.
Pray for a move of the Holy Spirit in Bihar that will lead thousands to the only savior.
