Introduction / History

Muslim Ager people of Pakistan are part of the South Asian Peoples affinity bloc. They speak Sindhi, an Indo-Aryan language widely used in the Sindh province of Pakistan. The Ager community has historical roots in artisan and service-oriented occupations and is culturally embedded within Sindhi society. Regional customs and Islamic traditions shape their identity.

What Are Their Lives Like?

The Muslim Ager people live primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Pakistan. Many are engaged in agriculture, manual labor, and small-scale trade. Their communities often face challenges such as limited access to education, economic instability, and restricted healthcare services. Social life is closely tied to family and caste networks, and traditional roles influence daily interactions and opportunities.

What Are Their Beliefs?

The Ager people follow Islam, specifically Sunni traditions, which is the dominant religion in Pakistan. Their religious practices include daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, mosque attendance, and celebration of Islamic festivals. Islam deeply influences their worldview, moral values, and community life.

What Are Their Needs?

They need access to culturally sensitive evangelism and discipleship, as there is currently no active church planting among them.
They need improved access to education, especially in rural areas, to help break cycles of poverty and increase opportunities.
They need economic development initiatives, including vocational training and support for small businesses.
They need healthcare services, particularly in underserved regions where medical infrastructure is lacking.
They need Christian media and resources in Sindhi, including radio broadcasts and gospel recordings.
