On October 31, 2024, believers from churches and Christian ministries around the globe will unite online for a 24-hour prayer event dedicated to the Hindu world. This worldwide event will be an opportunity to exalt Jesus Christ as King and pray for laborers to be sent to every unreached people group in cities and regions across the Hindu world.
The Hindu world represents one of the largest mission fields, with over 1.2 billion adherents to Hinduism globally. Yet, the message of Jesus remains relatively inaccessible to many. This event seeks to create a powerful movement of prayer that will lead to spiritual breakthroughs in these regions, culminating in the transformation of lives.
What is the Hindu World Prayer Guide?
The Hindu World Prayer Guide from 110Cities.com is a valuable tool for those wanting to participate in focused prayer for Hindus. This guide, available in 30 languages, is a resource used by over 5,000 international prayer networks, supporting 200 million people in prayer. It offers valuable insights and stories of how the Holy Spirit is already moving in the hearts of Hindus.
The guide not only highlights key cities and regions but also provides specific prayer points and stories of gospel work within the Hindu world. The prayer guide plays a critical role in focusing prayers leading up to the Diwali festival, a time when Hindus are most open to spiritual influence.
You can download the free Hindu prayer guide to join this global day of intercession.
Why Pray Around Diwali?
Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is a time of joy, family gatherings, and spiritual openness. Hindus celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, and as Christians, this provides a unique opportunity to pray for the light of Christ to shine in the hearts of Hindus.
The festival lasts for five days, with each day representing different aspects of Hindu belief and tradition. By praying during this festival, believers can intercede for Hindus as they seek spiritual renewal, that they may experience the life-giving truth of the Gospel.
The Importance of Intercessory Prayer
When Charles Spurgeon said, “There is nothing that intercessory prayer cannot do,” he highlighted the immense power of prayer to bring about change. For the global Christian community, interceding for the Hindu world presents a chance to overcome significant spiritual barriers and to see the Kingdom of God extended in regions where it is least known.
While Hinduism is a diverse and complex religion, with beliefs rooted in ancient traditions, prayer can open doors that no human effort can. Intercessory prayer is critical to see the life-giving message of Jesus reach every corner of the Hindu world.
The Challenge and Hope for Hindus to Hear the Gospel
Reaching Hindus with the Gospel presents unique challenges. Hinduism, a religion deeply rooted in culture, tradition, and history, is the second-largest least-reached religious group. While Hinduism is rich in diversity, from language to rituals, most Hindus have limited or no access to the message of Jesus. Despite this, God is at work, and Christian workers in India and around the world are seeing small but significant breakthroughs.
It is our prayer that during this 24-hour prayer event, more laborers will be sent into the harvest field. We pray that Hindus in India, the United States, Canada, and across the globe will come to know the saving love of Jesus.
How Can You Join?
You are invited to participate in this 24-hour global prayer meeting. Whether you can commit to praying for an hour or more, every moment matters. Pray that Gospel movements will emerge throughout Hindu-majority nations and that hearts will be open to the truth of Christ.
Additionally, make use of the free Hindu prayer guide, a comprehensive resource filled with stories, prayer points, and insights into the spiritual needs of Hindus. As we pray together, may the Holy Spirit guide us, bringing a fresh revelation of Jesus to millions of Hindus across the world.
Let us unite in prayer on October 31, 2024, trusting that God will move powerfully among the Hindu world!
