PRAY FOR THE HINDU WORLD
15 DAYS OF PRAYER FOR THE HINDU WORLD
8 – 22 October
The annual Hindu World Prayer Focus calls Christians and churches worldwide to take 15 days (8 – 22 October 2017) to learn about and pray for, the world’s Hindu population. This time period also encompasses the significant Hindu Festival of Light (Diwali).
Worldwide more than 1 billion people follow Hindu traditions and in South Africa about 1.2% of the population are Hindus, of which most reside in the KwaZulu Natal province. They are crying out to their gods at this time, and are expectant to hear from them. Let us pray for them to hear the voice of, and have a personal encounter with the Living Lord, Jesus Christ.

An informative prayer guide booklet has been compiled by World Christian.com that will help Christians to know how to pray for people growing up within this major and very diverse world religion.
Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;
They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat. Psalm 115: 4-7
