UNENGAGED PEOPLES OF SOUTH ASIA. When a Koiri offends another member of his caste, the head of the local council charges the offender a fine. The council head uses these fines to purchase a tribal mat and cauldron. Here he makes rulings and decisions for the Koiri people. Nearly 10.6 million Koiris live in eastern India. They are Hindus and speak Bengali and other local languages. Few Koiris have heard that Jesus already has paid the price for their offenses by sacrificing His holy life on a cross. They do not know that Jesus, the Son of the God, has risen from the dead and now is in heaven preparing a place for those who trust Him for salvation. Until they hear this good news, their lives lie in the hands of a council head whose only authority is a mat and cauldron. Pray that Bengali believers will share Jesus with the Koiris of India. www.neglectedfields.net
