The Sonr, not to be confused with the goldsmithing Sonar caste, are a scheduled tribe that lives in Madhya Pradesh. They speak Bundelkhandi. The Sonr have several clans.
The Sonr work in cultivation and laboring. They have a community council to look after their needs. Their education level is low so the gospel will need to be given in oral forms. They marry within their own community. Marriages are arranged by family elders. On the death of the father sons inherit the property.
Hinduism is their religion.
The Sonr people need the abundant life that only Jesus offers.
* Scripture Prayers for the Sonr in India.
Pray that the community leaders come to Jesus Christ and lead their people into a disciple making movement. Pray that gospel recordings and oral scriptures will become easily available to them. Pray for a craving for spiritual truth that will lead them to the only savior.
