Their attitude towards education, medical and family welfare programs is favorable.
Their family deity is Ashapridebi. Village level and regional level deities are Bherujee and Matajee.
The Hindu Rawat have little concept of a personal, creator God who loves them personally.
Stories from scripture, combined with gospel films and recordings, can be effective.
Pray for the followers of Christ that will soon be found in the Rawat community, that the Lord will provide qualified pastors and teachers for them, and that they will be well established in the faith.
Pray for the Rawat community to increasingly be aware of their need for forgiveness of sin, and that the creator God loves them.
Pray for a chain reaction of families reaching families that results in thousands of new believers who share their faith with others.
