The Rajput Ponwar enjoy a high status in Pakistani society. They encourage their sons to pursue higher education. As Muslims, their women are often secluded in the home. When the women go out, they wear very modest clothing that covers their heads and bodies. Families arrange marriages within the Rajput caste but not within the near clan members. They no longer follow the ancient practice of child marriage. Sons inherit property. They are non-vegetarians but as Muslims they do not eat pork.

Ministry Obstacles: Pakistan is one of the world's hardest places to spread the gospel, especially considering the violence dealt to religious minorities. Muslim peoples are seldom willing to even consider facing such persecution, which can also come from their families.

Scripture Focus: "Therefore, behold, I will make them know, this once I will make them know my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is the LORD."
- Jeremiah 16:21

Prayer Focus: Pray that today’s people group will understand from the heart that God is all powerful, and He can give or withhold blessings. Pray the Lord sends Christians to befriend the Rajput Ponwar and show them the love and mercy of God. Pray that Ponwar Rajputs would embrace the gospel and share it with others.
