The Banjara People
The Banjara are an unreached group of almost 70 million people worldwide. They are the ancestors of the European Gypsies. 60 million Banjara people live in India. In India, the Banjara live mostly in rural areas, in small villages or “thandas.” Literacy is very low, and most have never heard the name of Jesus. Because they are poor, with little to no income, and rural, they are an overlooked and neglected people. But, they are a wonderful people, and GBBMI longs to see them made new in Jesus
(2 Corinthians 5:17).
