The Bindla are a scheduled caste meaning that their status among Hindus is low but not really low. They live mostly in Andhra Pradesh. They speak, read and write in Telugu, the language of Andhra Pradesh. A few of the Bindla live in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Women help with financial and religious matters. They work mostly in agriculture and some of them make shoes. They are mostly landless. Their children are becoming more educated, but the literacy level is low. They are not vegetarians and they eat beef and pork.
They are Hindus and traditionally priests.
The Bindla people need the opportunity to receive the abundant blessings that only Jesus Christ offers.
Pray that Indian believers lead the Bindla to a Christ-ward movement. Pray that they realize God loves them regardless of their social status and that they can find their dignity and worth in Him. Pray for workers.
Scripture Prayers for the Bindla in India.
