Christian subversion and missionary activities

[Guest]

These folks have so much micro-information and data about each and every people group around the globe!! You got to see this to beleive this. Take this for just an example. "Tipera" live in Bangladesh, on border with Tripura. Total poulation is about 37,000 people primarily Hindus.

Now this is howmuch analysis Joshuaproject has done on them, and data churning collected: http://www.joshuaproject.net/peopctry.php?...=110073&rog3=BG

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->What are their beliefs?

The Tipera are nominally Hindu but are animists in practice, believing that non-human objects have spirits. They also have a number of shamanistic practices, which are based on the belief in a world of unseen gods and demons. They worship various gods of nature, such as those of fire, water, and the forest. They believe shamans (priests), called ojhas, have great influence with the spirits of nature. The Tipera are extremely superstitious, believing that it is bad luck for a kite to land on a roof, for a crow to caw on a roof, or to build a house where another has burned down.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->What are their needs?
The Tipera have staggering physical and spiritual needs. Their nation, Bangladesh, has one of the lowest standards of living in the world. Medical care is poor, income is low, and illiteracy is high. Periodic cyclones and floods ravage the country, causing widespread death and destruction.

Hinduism, animism, and shamanism are deeply entrenched in Tipera daily life. At present, four missions agencies are working among the people, but very few villagers are Christians. The language is divided into at least 36 dialects, making Bible translation very difficult. Only persistent intercession can break the strongholds over the lives of the Tipera.
