Why Pray?

Why Are We Praying for the Hindu People?

You might be wondering, “Why are we praying for the Hindu people every day during this adventure?” That’s a great question - and the answer is amazing!

There are over one billion Hindu people in the world today. Most live in India and Nepal, but there are Hindu families in many other countries too - places like the UK, USA, Kenya, and even right near where you live. Behind all the colorful festivals, busy temples, and daily prayers are real people - moms and dads, children and grandparents — and God loves every single one of them.

The Bible says God created all people in His image (Genesis 1:27). That means every Hindu child is wonderfully made and special to Him. But many Hindu people don’t yet know Jesus, the true Light of the World. During the Hindu festival of Diwali, houses and streets are filled with lamps and fireworks to celebrate “light winning over darkness.” But only Jesus can bring the real light that never goes out.

That’s why we pray! We ask God to show Hindu families that He sees them, loves them, and sent His Son Jesus to save them.

Your grown-ups might be praying for some big things too - for the Gospel to spread in India, for children to hear about Jesus, and for whole families to follow Him together. You’re not too young to join in! When kids pray, heaven listens.

Think of it like being part of a big team: the adults are praying, pastors are praying, churches around the world are praying - and you get to join them!  God loves to hear children pray! Every time you pray, you are shining God’s light into the Hindu world.

So as you go through this adventure, remember: your prayers matter. God hears you. And you’re helping write a beautiful story - one where Hindu children and families discover just how much Jesus loves them.
