Kahar (Hindu traditions) in India
kah-HAR
It seems likely that the Kahar caste is a remnant of one of the ethnic groups who occupied the valley of the Ganges before Aryan invaders came from the north. They claim to be descended from one of Brahma's sons and from a warrior caste, which would give them a good social standing if other Hindu communities accepted this.
Ministry Obstacles The worldview of the Kahar is very different than the biblical worldview. For example, they have no concept of resurrection, a key belief for Christ followers. They also live mainly in Uttar Pradesh, one of India's least reached states.
Outreach Ideas Tools (JESUS Film, recordings, videos, etc.) are available in most of the languages spoken by the Kahar community, but there is a need for workers to distribute them.
Scripture Focus "For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?" Isaiah 14:27
Scripture Prayer Pray that many from this people group will understand that God is sovereign, and they must obey Him alone.
Prayer Focus We know of no believers among the Kahar, so pray this will soon change. Pray the Kahar would understand that Jesus desires to bless their families and clans, not harm them. Pray for the ability to raise their standard of living and be ready for the challenges of the 21st century.
