Samagara in India
sah-MAH-gah-rah
Samagara women work hard and wield power in community decision making. Their main occupation is leather work and the manufacture of footwear popularly called Kolhapuri chappals. Presently, a large number have switched over to other professions. Education among the present generation is on the rise. A certain cluster of Samagara families are highly educated and well settled.
Ministry Obstacles
They have followed the Hindu religion for ages, never having embraced other religions. They have an unflinching faith in Hinduism. They are mostly devotees of Shiva and Durga. This kind of devotion keeps the Samagara from investigating the claims of the risen Christ.
Scripture Focus
"Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise?" Psalm 106:2
Scripture Prayer
May many from this people group not be able to praise Him enough!
Prayer Focus
Pray that the Samagara would have a spiritual hunger that will open their hearts to the King of kings.
Pray for workers who are driven by the love and boldness of the Holy Spirit to go to them.
Pray for a movement to Christ that would soon bless them with God’s favor.
