"The witness of the Frontiers workers is a source of inspiration and encouragement.

"If you really want to learn to lean on God and see His mighty power displayed across cultural barriers while having a ridiculous amount of fun, you should probably sign up [for a short-term trip]!"
"God is proving to be the constant that He is in the world. It is encouraging to hear how He is moving in the Muslim world."
- a Frontiers financial partner
"The exposure you get through short-term service is incredible. To throw oneself into a world ignorantly is sometimes the wisest thing you can do."
"As donors, we are excited by the strategic impact Frontiers is having in fulfilling the Great Commission among Muslims, and we want a greater sense of ownership."
"Frontiers' ministry to people that live in 'closed' countries excites me! Knowing that they have NGOs [nonprofits] trained and dedicated to reach these people makes Frontiers quite valuable."
- a Frontiers financial partner
"Because Frontiers has a proven track record of engaging the Muslim world with integrity and evangelical effectiveness, we are joyous partners in prayer and sharing of finances."
"Frontiers has our enthusiastic support (prayer and finances) for taking the Good News to Muslims. We are so thankful for the many God is calling to go and who are saying, 'Yes!'"

Kunjra People Group

The Kunjra of India are one of several unengaged people groups in the east Indian state of Bihar, a state with 15 million Muslims and no one working long-term to reach any of them. According to census data, Bihar is one of the most unreached Gospel geographical areas in the world.

Bihari Muslims are the second largest unengaged people cluster on earth, and among the Muslim groups in Bihar, the Kunjra are one of the largest. They are a low-caste people who have historically been fruit and vegetable sellers or farmers. Kunjra are also largely illiterate and live in a state of grinding poverty.

In 2008, a dam broke in Nepal, which borders Bihar to the north, and caused catastrophic flooding in Bihar. A Frontiers assessment team went in to determine if this was a unique opportunity to access Muslims in Bihar. They reported that the flood did not necessarily open new doors into Bihar, because the doors were already open. Just as before the flood, the people of Bihar are not unengaged due to a lack of opportunities. They are unengaged because of a lack of workers who will go to them.

  • Prayer Points
  • Quick Facts
  • Pray for the spiritual darkness in Bihar to be lifted and for the protection of workers who would go.
  • Ask the Lord to reveal Himself in mighty ways to the Kunjra and bring them to Himself.
  • Pray for God to raise up long-term teams to go to the Kunjra.
