August 16 / Rajasthani Muslims

Description: Converts to Islam among the Rajasthani Hindus first began in the 11th century among the Meo, which trace their ancestary back to the Rajput caste. Around this core group grew a wider community of Muslim immigrants and conversions from other Hindu castes, such that the entire Rajasthani Muslim community would often be referred to as the Meo.

Prayer Points:
• There are no known workers or outreach among the Rajasthani Muslims. Intercede for the immediate deployment of dozens of missionary teams in strategic locations, especially in the Jaipur district (with 540,000 Muslims), Nagaur district (with 370,000), and Jodhpur district (with 320,000) where there are large concentrations of Rajasthani Muslims.
• There is still no Bible in the major Rajasthani dialects (4 need them). Pray for the completion of these and for Muslim sensitive adaptations to be initiated simultaneously.
• There are around 500,000 Meos in Pakistan which fled after the 1947 partition. Pray for a team of Pakistani believers to be raised up to reach them.

A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the Rajasthani Muslims see your glory in the person of your son Jesus, and worship him in Spirit and in Truth.

Every year 38,000 Rajasthani Muslims die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
