22. DOGRA OF INDIA.

IMB Pray

22. DOGRA OF INDIA.

The Dogra are an unreached people group in India with a strong history of military service. Most Dogra are Hindus. Pray for the Lord to raise up workers to focus on reaching this people group and that the Dogra would one day be good soldiers of Christ Jesus (2 Tim. 2:3-4).

31. DIWALI FESTIVAL.

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.

30. TIHAR FESTIVAL.

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.

29. CARING FOR THE NEEDY.

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.
