Introduction

The Rajputs, who originally belonged to the Kshatriya caste, gained political importance in the 7th century. During the early 1970s, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi abolished the titles and property rights enjoyed by Rajputs. The majority of Rajputs love to share about the military exploits of their ancestors and are still in military service or own land. Wealthy Rajputs sometimes have financial success by owning impressive hotels where tourists can be introduced to their proud history. Those of lower income are employed as wage laborers or own small businesses.

Ministry Obstacles

Agnivansi Rajputs are experiencing a massive identity crisis. Due to restrictions on government jobs and other services like military and land ownership becoming less accessible, they are feeling very unstable.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that the Rajput community will be united in love around the truth of scripture.
Pray they live a life of love and to find their identity in him.
Pray for the few Rajput believers to have the boldness to share the ways of Christ with other Rajputs.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide the Rajput community to open and accept Jesus and not to idolize worldly things.
