Punjabi Sikhs

Pray that God would reveal ‘persons of peace’ to those seeking to share the Gospel with Sikhs (Luke 10:5 - “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’")

Pray for Sikh families experiencing domestic stress of various sorts; for outreach specifically to Punjabi women who often are more open to hearing the Gospel.

Pray for those seeking to reach out to international and post-secondary students with the Gospel.

Pray for the thousands of Sikh-background post-secondary students, including international students, for God’s help with financial pressures, and adjusting to Canadian society.

Pray that Christian churches would recognize that God has brought Sikh people next door to them and then act accordingly in obedience. Acts 17:26-27 - "From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us."

Pray that followers of Jesus would respond in obedience to Jesus’ command to share his love with Sikh friends and neighbors by first becoming an authentic friend who will patiently ‘learn, look and listen’ to their cultural worldview before sharing. 1 Peter 3:15-16 - "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.

Pray that God would bring at least one gospel-centred believer into the life of each Sikh person, who would look for ways to authentically serve that person.

Pray that Sikhs would come to see Jesus as the ‘True Satguru’ (the ‘Ultimate Guru’)

John 16:8 - "When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment"

John 6:44 - "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day."
