Description: The Boya are a Dravidian ethnicity in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. They often
serve as village policeman, soldiers, and messengers, though most are farmers.
Prayer Points:
• The Boya have recently been engaged with missionary outreach, though there is not active church planting among them. Pray for full time church-planting teams to be sent to every major community among the Boya.
• The Boya have a low view of women, and education for girls is not valued. Unmarried girls often are forced into prostitution. Pray that the gospel of Jesus might bring redemption and hope to Boya women and transformation of the Boya worldview.
• In Karnataka, the Boya have a unique dialect that blends Kannada and Marathi. Pray for an adaption of available Scripture resources in these languages to be developed and made available among them.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, draw the Boya to yourself through Jesus. May the richness of your love come dwell in their hearts by faith.
Every year 35,000 Boya die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
