Pray for the Dhiman Brahmin

Pronunciation: DEE-mahn BRAH-min  

Dhiman are unlike any other Brahmin community. They have always been focused on architecture and building instead of priestly duties. According to their traditions, they are the descendants of the five sons of their god, Lord Vishwakarma. These sons represent blacksmiths, carpenters, metal craftsmen, stone cutters, and goldsmiths. Vishwakarma is the personification of all creative power, and the revealer of knowledge having to do with the science of mechanics and architecture. They are often called Vishwabrahmins, in reference to their god.

Ministry Obstacles: There is a deep aversion to religious propaganda among Dhiman Brahmins, and Christians are often seen as propagandists. Christianity is seen as problematic for Brahmins. Christ's ambassadors need to approach Brahmins in a loving, respectful manner.

Scripture Focus: "The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever."
- Psalm 29:10

Prayer Focus: Pray that many will understand that God is the undisputed King of kings, and beside Him there is no other. Pray for vibrant Christians to befriend Dhiman Brahmins. Pray for Christ to reveal himself to Dhiman Brahmin leaders. Pray that the eyes of Brahmin hearts may be open to Jesus Christ as Lord and King. Pray for a movement to Christ to emerge among every Brahmin community. Pray for many to be prompted to pray for Brahmins faithfully.
