Kumhar (Muslim traditions) in Pakistan
koom-HAR
The word Kumhar means maker of pots. The people group is known by the same name of Kumar. Some of the group's products are made out of ceramic clay or glass. Some Kumhar work in cultivation. Sons inherit the property upon their father's death, with the oldest son typically taking charge of the family estate. The Kumhar observe adult marriages without permitting divorce.
Ministry Obstacles
Whether they live in Pakistan or India, Muslim Kumhar have few Christian followers living among them. It is doubtful they will ever hear the gospel without God intervening with his love.
Scripture Focus
"Young men and maidens together, old men and children! Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven." Psalm 148:12-13
Scripture Prayer
Pray for all generations from this people group to worship and praise the Lord.
Prayer Focus
Pray for deliverance from the fear that hinders the Kumhar from accepting God's blessing by challenging them to look beyond Islam.
Pray for the Lord to multiply the reception and influence of his word among this people group, leading them to love him with their whole being.
May the Kumhar be enriched and multiply as a result of choosing the gift of Jesus as their savior.
Pray for God's blessings to shower upon the rising Christian leaders among the Kumhar.
Pray for God's blessing to strengthen and heal families and communities within this people group.
