These women don't choose this life for themselves. Their families choose it for them. It is a trap and they are shunned by the rest of society. These women are in need of Savior. Please pray with me for the Devadasis to hear the Word of Christ and to enter into a relationship with the one, true God who gave His life over in order to save them. He loves them and they need to know that.
If you want to hear more about these women, then you can go on the app CompassionNet. It is an app for the IMB that shares ways that you pray for missionaries and for the lost all over the world.
Hello Eliana. So good to know you through your profile on the blogger. I am glad to stop by your blog ' It is a God Thing" and the post on it " Pray for the Devadasis". It is a blessed thing to know you who has a burden for the Devadasis in India at different temples in south and north too. I am from Mumbai, India. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 35yrs in the great city of Mumbai a city with great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted. We also encourage young people like you as well as adults from the West to come to Mumbai to work with us in the slums of Mumbai to work amongst poorest of poor to share the good news of Jesus and to give them new hope, future and purpose. Did you ever visit this Hindu god "Yellamma"'s termple in south? or you got this information from the Web. We would love to have you come with your friends to Mumbai to work with us during your summer/ Christmas vacation. You will also get a chance to go the this temple and see it. We can also make use of you in our church for conducting Bible study for Youth Group and women's group too. My email id is : dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon.
