Introduction

The Agri are a Hindu people native to suburban Mumbai. They also live in Rajasthan, Delhi and Maharashtra. They speak Marathi. Both husband and wife are responsible for household income and management because there is no dowry. The Agri make a living through business, principally through real estate and fishing.

Ministry Obstacles

The idea that God could have a personal relationship with us is unknown to the Agri; thus, to have personal saving faith in Christ is also unknown. The Agri believe they must work for enlightenment to be free of rebirths. Indeed, the idea of being “born again” is easily misunderstood.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that Indian churches would adopt this group and pray over them faithfully.
Pray that the Holy Spirit would prepare the Agri to encounter Scripture and Indian evangelists.
Ask God to give the Agri a spiritual hunger through dreams of Jesus that will prepare them for an encounter with media and messengers of the faith.
Pray that soon Agri Christ followers would begin to disciple others in their communities.
Pray without ceasing for a harvest among these Hindus, that they would come to know the one true God.
