he Barad people are also called the Baraad or Barad Fakir, which means "wandering dervish." Traditionally they were nomads who traded horses and cattle. Most now live in Pakistan s Sindh Province and their language is Saraiki.
They were once horse and cattle traders, but now the Barad people hold just about any job. That includes agriculture, fishing and small-scale trade. Many work as laborers in urban areas, contributing to diverse economic activities. Their resilience and adaptability help them navigate economic challenges.
They value strong family ties and community cohesion. Traditional music, dance and festivals play a vital role in their social life. The Barad people maintain a vibrant oral tradition, passing down stories and cultural values through generations.
Though the Barad are official Sunni Muslim, many adhere to the more emotional and mystical Sufi form of Islam. They have a tradition of writing and reciting poems which reflects the Sufi form of Islam.
They face many social and economic problems that will not be easily solved.
The Barad people need to put their hope in the King of kings, realizing that he is the one who gives them worth and dignity.
Pray for loving workers to go to the Barad people until there are disciples who make more disciples.
Pray the Lord will prepare the hearts of the Barad to understand and to believe the gospel.
Pray for the Lord to bless the Barad people with adequate medical care.
Pray for Barad elders and family leaders to have dreams of the risen Christ.
