Pray for the Kudumi in India

pronounced: koo-DOO-mee

Traditionally the Kudumi were hunters and fishermen. The Kudumi work in farming, animal production, day labor and other work. They have a traditional wise man called a Budvantha to settle disputes and a community council to look after their interests. Boys are given some education, but girls are given very little. They commonly marry their cousins. After the death of the father, sons inherit the property with the oldest son taking charge of the family estate. The mother of the bride cannot go to the wedding of her daughter. They have a joint family system which means that often ten people live in one household.

Ministry Obstacles: Though the Kudumi live near Christians and churches, they have not submitted to Christ. There are unseen spiritual impediments.

Scripture Focus: "Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from before the terror of the LORD, and from the splendor of his majesty."
- Isaiah 2:10

Prayer Focus: Pray for many from this people group to understand both God’s judgment and His majestic glory. The Kudumi speak Tamil, a language spoken by thousands of vibrant Christians. Pray that Tamil speaking Christian believers will lead the Kudumi to a community-wide movement to Christ. Pray also that the councils will come to Jesus Christ and lead others to salvation. Pray for openness to faith in Christ alone, forsaking all others.
