Introduction

The Rajput Ponwar enjoy a high status in Pakistani society. They encourage their sons to pursue higher education. As Muslims, their women are often secluded in the home. When the women go out, they wear very modest clothing that covers their heads and bodies. Families arrange marriages within the Rajput caste but not within the near clan members. They no longer follow the ancient practice of child marriage. Sons inherit property. They are non-vegetarians but as Muslims they do not eat pork.

Ministry Obstacles

Pakistan is one of the world's hardest places to spread the gospel, especially considering the violence dealt to religious minorities. Muslim peoples are seldom willing to even consider facing such persecution, which can also come from their families.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray the Lord sends Christians to befriend the Rajput Ponwar and show them the love and mercy of God.
Pray that Ponwar Rajputs would embrace the gospel and share it with others.
