The Dhankia people live in Rajasthan and speak Marwari.
The Hindu Dhankia people are primarily farmers. They also fish.
Though they are officially Hindu, the Dhankia people have their own rituals and traditions, most of which are intended to give them a better crop.
They do not have access to adequate schools and health care.
Pray for loving gospel workers to catch a vision for reaching the Dhankia people for Jesus and that in God's sovereign timing the hearts of these people would be open and ready to follow him.
Pray for Jesus movements to bless extended families so the gospel will spread rapidly.
Pray for the spiritual lives of the Dhankia people to become fruitful so others will be drawn to Jesus Christ.
