Koiri (Hindu traditions)   KOY-ree

The Koiri believe they are the descendants of Kush, one of the twin sons of Lord Rama. They receive the services of a Brahmin priest, who officiates over their life-cycle rituals and religious ceremonies. The majority of the Koiri are engaged in their traditional occupation of agriculture. They have a good reputation as excellent farmers and have adopted modern farming methods, resulting in bountiful harvests. Some are now landowners.

Ministry Obstacles

Nominal Christians, whether in India or in the West, may have negatively influenced the Koiri's perception of what it means to be a follower of Christ. Hindu Koiris need to see living Christianity lived out before them.

Scripture Focus

"They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness."  Psalm 145:6

Scripture Prayer

Thank Him for His awe-inspiring deeds!

Prayer Focus

Pray for God's blessing, strengthening, and healing of families and communities within the Koiri through the abundant life Jesus offers to all who call on his name. Pray they will increasingly hunger to know forgiveness for their sins and the new life offered through faith in Jesus Christ. Pray for bold workers to go to them and remain dedicated to seeing the Koiris discipled.
