The Tondman are a Hindu unengaged, unreached people group. Newborns receive their names from an elderly woman 16 days after they are born. Pray that, one day, these women will give Christian names to babies because they have seen God’s salvation.
During Diwali, the “Festival of Lights,” Hindus celebrate two Hindu gods and the victory of good over evil. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world...” (John 8:12). During Diwali, pray many Hindus will receive new life from Jesus, the Light of Life.
When they die, Hindus believe they will begin a fateful journey alone and will be judged by the god Yama. During Tihar, Nepalese Hindus reflect on death. Pray God will soften their hearts to receive the gospel and Christians will share the good news of eternal life.
As many South Asian churches care for people in slum communities through education, healthcare, and addiction recovery programs, pray that more will join the work, sharing the gospel and love of Christ in word and deed.
