🌍 *UNREACHED PEOPLE OF THE DAY* 🌍
THE KANARESE IN NEW ZEALAND
Many states in India have their own language and Karnataka is no exception. The Kanarese are Kannada speakers who blend in well with other South Asians who have migrated to New Zealand. With the exception of those who speak Bengali or Gujarati, South Asians tend to come together as one group. However, Kannada speakers did establish their own association in 1994. This New Zealand Kannada organization is intended to preserve the language, culture and religion of Karnataka for those who have migrated to New Zealand.
MINISTRY OBSTACLES
The South Asians in New Zealand are seeking abundant life from sources that cannot offer it. Only Jesus Christ offers abundant life.
OUTREACH IDEAS
Believers who enjoy the food and culture of South Asia can attend their events and make friends with people. They can eventually find those who want a relationship with the Creator through the Savior.
SCRIPTURE FOCUS
"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11
SCRIPTURE PRAYER
Pray that many from today’s people group will find joy in the Lord, and the pleasures of being with Him for eternity.
PRAYER FOCUS
Pray that those who follow Christ among the South Asians in New Zealand would honor the Lord and draw others to him through their words and actions.
Pray for spiritual hunger to come to the Kanarese and other Hindu South Asian people groups in New Zealand.
Pray for believers to lovingly reach out to the Kanarese in New Zealand.
Pray for reproducing disciples among them.
