Easthaven Baptist Church (EBC) went to India in 2014 with a goal to adopt and engage an unreached people group with the Gospel of Christ. We got connected with an IMB missionary who introduced us to a local Indian missionary, brother Nitin. One of Nitin’s main ministries is to reach the Waghari people. Waghari people is an outcast tribal group who live near the center part of India. Their number is estimated to be around 300,000. They are previously unreached by the Gospel. Waghari people traditionally hunt for a living. Since the government outlawed hunting several years ago, many of them resort to begging, stealing or making alcohol for a living. At the onset of our partnership, there was only a handful of believers. As our partnership with Nitin grows, we are able to reach close to 20 villages. Currently there are close to 1,000 believers. This number continues to grow as we access more remote villages each year.When we are on the ground,  we also participate in reaching the fisherman people. Fisherman fish with nets in lakes as their primary income source. In 2017 We started a separate partnership in the city of Mumbai with pastor Asaram to reach migrant Waghari people in the city of Mumbai. God is so good and faithful. He goes before us each time we travel halfway across the globe. He is drawing Waghari people to Himself. It has been nothing short of amazing as His Kingdom continues to expand among the Waghari. Yet the work is not done. There are still many remote villages untouched by the Gospel. Your prayers are much appreciated! God is so good and faithful.
