Introduction
The Kumhar live throughout South Asia by different surnames: Verma, Kumhar, Prajapat, Prajapati and Kumawat. The Kumhar make earthen pots, but it is very difficult for a Kumhar artisan to maintain his existence that way. They claim to be the first inventors of the wheel. They are very honest people and make their livelihood by hard work. Being Hindu, they may worship more than one god and caste is important.
Ministry Obstacles
It is difficult for any Hindu to understand that there is only one God and one way to true spirituality. This seems very narrow to them.
Outreach Ideas
Pray for the Followers of Christ
Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers to them in Bangladesh and India.
Pray for a spiritual hunger among the Kumhars that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave.
Pray for Kumhar disciples who will make more disciples.
