Bania of Delhi

Please pray for the Bania of Delhi.  The Bania people group is one of the largest people groups in Delhi.  They are traditionally merchants and businessmen and tend to still fill those roles today.   It is said:  “If you give a Bania a handful of sand, he can turn it into gold.” Banias have a big reputation in India as being “money-minded”. Much of the typical Bania’s life revolves around the idea that with money comes peace of mind and security. The majority of Banias are Hindus, with a percentage of them following the Jain religion.

Please pray for them today!
Many Jains and Hindus are coming to Christ because of a miraculous healing.  Please pray that God would reveal himself in these ways to the Delhi Banias (and Banias all over the world!).  Pray that the  Banias will discover what it means to be truly rich though a relationship with Jesus!
