Kol of India
In the colonial period, the word kol acquired a pejorative connotation. It became a synonym for the savage, the lowly, those performing menial jobs, the militant and the aggressive. In some regions, their traditional and present-day occupation is the collecting and selling fuel of wood and leaves from forest and wage labor. They worship family deities like Birmidevi and Simoridevi, village deities, and regional deities.
Ministry Obstacles
An animistic, polytheistic worldview is an obstacle to faith in Christ, but not an insurmountable obstacle.
Outreach Ideas
Many workers are needed to carry the good news about Christ to the several language groups within the Kol community.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There are a few followers of Christ among the Kol community. Pray they will experience Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the Kol community will increasingly hunger to know the creator God, and lose their interest in worshipping imaginary beings.
