Introduction

According to their traditional beliefs, the Bhogta emerged from a union of religious preachers and tribal women. The children from these unions became the Bhogta, most of whom now live in India's eastern states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Bihar. The Bhogta were traditionally farmers, though they also made rope, cots and parched rice for a living. Today some of them are day-laborers on tea plantations while others work in private and government services.

May God be glorified, and his kingdom extended among the Bhogta.
The Bhogta usually speak Hindi, the most common language in northern India. There are all kinds of gospel materials in this major language. Pray for the Bhogta to find them and allow them to transform their lives.
