Daily Prayer Guide for All People Groups & Unreached People Daily Prayer Guide for all People Groups & Unreached People Groups = LR-UPGs - of South Asia Source: Joshua Project data, www.joshuaproject.net 2019 Western edition (India DPG is separate) Introduction Page i INTRODUCTION & EXPLANATION All Joshua Project people groups & “Least Reached” (LR) / “Unreached People Groups” (UPG) downloaded in September, 2018 are included. Joshua Project considers LR & UPG as those people groups who are less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian. The statistical data for population, percent Christian (all who consider themselves Christian), is Joshua Project computer generated as of September 2018. This prayer guide is good for multiple years (2019, 2020, etc.) as there is little change (approx. 1.4% growth) each year. ** AFTER 2019 MULTIPLY POPULATION FIGURES BY 1.4 % ANNUAL GROWTH EACH YEAR. The JP-LR column lists those people groups which Joshua Project lists as “Least Reached” (LR), indicated by Y = Yes. White rows shows people groups JP lists as “Least Reached” (LR) or UPG, while shaded rows are not considered LR people groups by Joshua Project. Luke 10:2, Jesus told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Therefore, let's pray daily for South Asia's people groups & LR-UPGs! Introduction Page ii UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS IN SOUTH ASIA Mission leaders with Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (LCWE) meeting in Chicago in 1982 developed this official definition of a PEOPLE GROUP: “a significantly large ethnic / sociological grouping of individuals who perceive themselves to have a common affinity to one another [on the basis of ethnicity, language, tribe, caste, class, religion, occupation, location, or a combination]. From the viewpoint of evangelization this is the largest group within which the gospel can spread as a church planting movement without encountering barriers of understanding or acceptance.” These mission leaders defined UNREACHED PEOPLES as: “a group among which there is no [or not enough] indigenous community of believing Christians able (with adequate numbers and resources) to evangelize this people group (without outside [cross-cultural] assistance.)” An unreached people group was later further defined by Joshua Project as a group which was less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian. This definition is thus a missiological, church planting definition which attempts to determine which people groups most need cross-cultural mission workers to preach Christ and plant churches in that group. On the basis of the above definitions and ethno-linguistic criteria, as of Sept. 2018 Joshua Project lists a total of 17,016 people groups in the world, & a total of 7,082 “Least Reached” or Unreached People Groups. Source: Joshua Project: www.joshuaproject.net = 09-22-2018 SOUTH ASIA SUMMARY: On September 22, 2018 India had 2,289 “Least Reached” or UPG out of 2,554 total people groups; India has more UPGs than any other country. The 6 countries of “South Asia” (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives) have 2,9946 LR-UPG out of 7,082 total world LR/UPG = 42.27% of world LR-UPG! Thus we must PRAY & send pioneer church planters! India: 2,554 total PG; 2,289 UPGs; (Note: India is featured in a separate Daily Prayer Guide) Bangladesh: 326 total PG; 294 UPGs; NP: 274 total PG; 266 UPGs; Sri Lanka: 166 total PG; 70 UPGs; Bhutan: 74 total PG; 71 UPGs; Maldives: 4 total PG; 4 UPGs Maldives: 4 total PG; 4 UPGs Introduction Page iii Why Should We Pray For Unreached People Groups? * Missions & salvation of all people is God's plan, God's will, God's heart, God's dream, Gen. 3:15! * In the Great Commissions Jesus commands us to reach all peoples in the world, Matt. 28:19-20! * People without Jesus are eternally lost, & Jesus is the only One who can save them, John 14:6! * We have been given "the ministry & message of reconciliation", in Christ, 2 Cor. 5:18-20! * Jesus’ return is intimately tied to reaching all people groups, Matt. 24:14; Rev. 7:9! * Jesus commanded us to pray to Him to send workers into the harvest, Luke 10:2! * If we love Jesus, we will want to obey and please Him, John 14:15! How Should We Pray for Unreached People Groups? ** Pray for great revival on the Church to cleanse, empower and send them out to the lost! ** Pray for great outpouring of God’s Spirit on the people group bringing conviction of sin! ** Pray for clear, biblical dreams and visions and revelations drawing people to Jesus! ** Pray for powerful, biblical signs and wonders of healing, deliverance and miracles! ** Pray that God will send more workers into His harvest in obedience to Luke 10:2! ** Pray for great people movements to Christ and Church Planting Movements! ** Pray that new converts will be biblically discipled and will grow in Jesus! God answers prayer for UPGs! An example are the Cholanaikkans of Kerala, South India! *** In the late 1960s the Cholanaikkans of Kerala, South India were discovered living in caves and completely unreached. Local Kerala Christians began praying for them and sent church planting teams to reach them. Within a few years the Cholanaikkans' lives improved, many became believers in Jesus, and a church was built with half the Cholanaikkans attending, PTL!

    DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL SMALL-MOLECULE ANTIMICROBIALS DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL SMALL-MOLECULE ANTIMICROBIALS By CARLA E. BROWN, B. Art. Sc., M. Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Carla E. Brown, June 2017 Ph.D. Thesis – C. Brown; McMaster University – Chemistry and Chemical Biology McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2017) Hamilton, Ontario (Chemical Biology) TITLE: Design and Synthesis of Novel Small-molecule Antimicrobials AUTHOR: Carla E. Brown, BArtSc. (McMaster University), M.Sc. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Professor James McNulty NUMBER OF PAGES: xiii, 281 ii Ph.D. Thesis – C. Brown; McMaster University – Chemistry and Chemical Biology There is a need to discover new antimicrobial drugs to combat drug-resistant infections. We are trying to find new molecules that can prevent the growth of parasites and viruses by developing and using novel chemical reactions, as well as by isolating new products from plants and fungi. This text describes a new way to make quinolines, a type of molecule found in many drugs. A molecule prepared by this method inhibited the parasite T. gondii at low concentrations. We have also identified quinazolinones, molecules that can be rapidly assembled by combining three components, which inhibit parasites and viruses. The thesis also includes a faster way to make derivatives of an antiviral molecule from daffodils, which can help determine which parts of the molecule are important for antiviral activity. We have also identified new molecules from the fungus Xylaria polymorpha and an antiviral compound from the Ficus benjamina tree.

  • Diverse Genetic Origin of Indian Muslims: Evidence from Autosomal STR Loci
    Journal of Human Genetics (2009) 54, 340–348 & 2009 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/09 $32.00 www.nature.com/jhg ORIGINAL ARTICLE Diverse genetic origin of Indian Muslims: evidence from autosomal STR loci Muthukrishnan Eaaswarkhanth1,2, Bhawna Dubey1, Poorlin Ramakodi Meganathan1, Zeinab Ravesh2, Faizan Ahmed Khan3, Lalji Singh2, Kumarasamy Thangaraj2 and Ikramul Haque1 The origin and relationships of Indian Muslims is still dubious and are not yet genetically well studied. In the light of historically attested movements into Indian subcontinent during the demic expansion of Islam, the present study aims to substantiate whether it had been accompanied by any gene flow or only a cultural transformation phenomenon. An array of 13 autosomal STR markers that are common in the worldwide data sets was used to explore the genetic diversity of Indian Muslims. The austere endogamy being practiced for several generations was confirmed by the genetic demarcation of each of the six Indian Muslim communities in the phylogenetic assessments for the markers examined. The analyses were further refined by comparison with geographically closest neighboring Hindu religious groups (including several caste and tribal populations) and the populations from Middle East, East Asia and Europe. We found that some of the Muslim populations displayed high level of regional genetic affinity rather than religious affinity. Interestingly, in Dawoodi Bohras (TN and GUJ) and Iranian Shia significant genetic contribution from West Asia, especially Iran (49, 47 and 46%, respectively) was observed. This divulges the existence of Middle Eastern genetic signatures in some of the contemporary Indian Muslim populations.

  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With the Government of Bangladesh driving its National Sanitation Campaign from 2003-2012, Bangladesh has made significant progress in reducing open defecation, from 34 percent in 1990 to just once percent of the national population in 20151. Despite these achievements, much remains to be done if Bangladesh is to achieve universal improved2 sanitation coverage by 2030, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
