Yadav, a mega unreached people group.

Map with Yadava population

The Yadav are a ‘MegaPeople’ of over 60 million, (Nearly 1% of the world's population) living all over India and in some parts of Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan but mostly in north and central India. They are the largest people group in the most unreached state in India (Bihar). Among the Yadav, there are estimated to be no more than a few thousand Christians (less than 0.02 %).

God loves the Yadav people and desires that none of them should perish (2 Peter 3:9). Unfortunately, most Yadav die never hearing the Good News about Jesus Christ. The Yadav have access to multiple caste levels because of their trade as milkmen and cattle herders. There are key to reaching North India and beyond. They are open to the Gospel.

They are truly open to the Gospel!

Now is the time to reach the Yadav people. Originally we had doubts about the timing of reaching the Yadav, but once we visited the regions with high Yadav populations,  the Lord opened our eyes. We are convinced that the Yadav are ripe and ready for the harvest. This is God's time to reach out to the Yadav. 

Their large population, position in Indian culture, and distribution throughout the nations make them a very strategic part of evangelizing the heart of the 10/40 Window. God is moving among the them, and in places where work has begun, they are receptive to the Gospel.  But to fully reach 54 million (or more) Yadav with the Gospel, many workers and a powerful movement of God is needed. This can happen as Christians around the world join us and commit themselves to pray, give, and go for the cause of the Yadav.  By joining us in reaching the Yadav, you will be a part of finishing the task of bringing the Gospel to the heart of the most unreached part of the world.

Are you willing to adopt this people group? (individual or as a church) For more information on the Yadav visit www.reachtheyadav.com as we partner with them. Please let us know when you decide to adopt the Yadav people or contact us for more information.
