The Hadi of India, with a population of 5,200, live primarily in the state of Himachal Pradesh. Their name comes from the Hindi word for “bone” because it was believed that they collected animal bones, as well as gold and silver, from the ashes of cremated bodies to sell to local jewelers. They are also street sweepers. Their menial occupations are looked down upon by the greater community, and not many get an education. Pray for the Hadi to find a new identity in Christ and a God-given purpose in life. Pray 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) over the Hadi: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
