Pattanavan of Tamil Nadu, India
The Pattanavan people of the coastline of Tamil Nadu, India, number more than 130,000 and are generally sea fishermen who catch their fish by casting nets from catamarans. The nets are made by the Pattanavan people, who are experts at weaving. The Pattanavan have been known for their weaving skills for centuries, with a Pattanavan legend telling of how they supplied silk thread to the Hindu god Siva. The Pattanavan people of Tamil Nadu remain Hindus, with no known believers among them. Please pray for these dear people to allow the one true God, who knitted them and formed them in their mother’s womb, to draw them to Himself. Pray for national and international Christians to have a desire to live among the Pattanavan people and share Truth with them.
