Introduction

The Molesalam live in the state of Gujarat. They speak, read and write in Gujarati, and their primary profession is as farmers. A community council judges their disagreements. The Molesalam prefer cousin marriages. They don't allow for divorce and remarriage. After the death of the father, daughters get some of the inheritance, but not as much as sons.

Ministry Obstacles

They have a low literacy level, so the gospel needs to be presented in oral form. There are no Christians among them, few of which speak their Gujarati language.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that the Molesalam are attracted to Jesus enough to begin their own discovery Bible studies.
Pray also that God will give them dreams and visions leading them to start a movement to Christ.
Pray that gospel recordings and the JESUS Film will lead them to salvation.
Pray for spiritual discernment and a hunger for truth that will lead them to Christ.
Fortunately, there are all kinds of gospel materials in Gujarati. Pray for Molesalam families to receive them with open hearts.
