Gujar (Hindu traditions) in United States

The Gujar are comprised of three very closely related people groups that are known collectively as the Gujar Rajasthani. The Gujar castes are broadly divided along religious and geographic lines into two groups: the Muslim Gujar and the Hindu Gujar. Those who have migrated to the United States are mainly from the settled farming communities. Today they are settling in and mingling with other Hindu communities, though they might not be as well accepted given their lower status in South Asia.

Ministry Obstacles

Hindus like the Gujars who migrate to the United States are primarily concerned with improving their economic situation. They often neglect their spiritual lives, or settle for traditional Hindu rituals.

Outreach Ideas

Western Christian believers have an opportunity for outreach to Hindu communities like the Gujar. In South Asia, there are few if any opportunities for them to hear the gospel. Believers can join them for India's Independence Day and other cultural festivals where outsiders are welcome.

Scripture Focus

"And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."  1 John 5:11-12

Scripture Prayer

Pray that this people group realizes that it is only through the Son of God, Jesus Christ, that they can obtain eternal life.

Prayer Focus

Pray for the Lord to prepare loving and tenacious servants to go to the Gujar people in the United States. Pray for a movement to Christ among the Hindu Gujar that would spread to their communities in India.
