The Yadav community, which was also once referred to as Ahir, is identified as an immigrant tribe included in ancient inscription books and Hindu texts. One of their main subgroups is the Ghosi. The term Ghosi refers to a herder. Their ancestors probably came from Central Asia. Yadav believe their main lineage is from the various kings and the Hindu god Krishna, who engage in animal husbandry, milk production and cattle raising. While some remain landless laborers at the moment, others have diversified into business, teaching, politics and various professions. They have good status among Hindus both in India and Nepal.

Due to their association with cattle being considered holy by the Hindus, they have high prestige. This gives them a sense of pride and self-confidence which is a barrier to the humility it takes to accept the gospel.

Pray for them to have the spiritual hunger it takes to seek and find the one who is the way, the truth and the life.
Pray for the Holy Spirit sent workers to go to the Ghosi Yadav community.
Pray for Ghosi Yadav disciples who will make more disciples of Christ.
