The Shaikhs profess Islam and have both Sunni and Shia traditions among them. In Nepal they speak Nepali and either Urdu, Bhojpuri or Maithili in their communities. There has been much ministry activity among the Shaikh in India but few works in Nepal. There is a lot of potential for gospel growth within the Shaikh community because of relatively few social divisions.

Pray that this largest group of Nepali Muslims will find the truth of the Prophet Isa!
Pray that the hunger for the truth will drive them to seek the Lord and receive the Gospel.
Pray that the believers among them will conduct their affairs with wisdom and understanding.
