Silawat (Hindu traditions)   see-lah-WAHT

The word "sila" means stone. Silawat do stonework and work in agriculture. Silawat are a scheduled caste. When the father dies, sons inherit the family property. The Silawat send their children to school, but due to their low literacy level, the gospel will need to be presented in oral form. There is an abundance of Hindi language gospel materials that they can understand.

Ministry Obstacles

The states in which they live are highly unreached with the gospel. Silawats have no Christians within or outside their community who can tell them about the only Savior.

Scripture Focus

"For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?"  Isaiah 14:27
