The Amant people are also known as the Amanats. They speak Oriya, which is the language of Odisha, their home state. Like many Hindu communities, the Amant people place themselves higher in the caste system than others would. They consider themselves to be Sudras, a group that is the fourth and lowest of caste clusters. Others would consider them to be outside the caste system.

They are farmers, though some are artists, day laborers or carpenters.

Like many Hindu groups, the Amant's spiritual lives are crippled by astrology, which they think determines their destiny. Astrologers help them determine auspicious dates for important events like weddings. They worship the false gods Thakurani and Mahadev.

The Amat people need to put all their faith and trust in Jesus Christ so they can enjoy the abundant life he offers his children.

Pray that entire Amat families will soon turn to Christ, who came to give them life, and life to the full.
Pray for a chain reaction of families reaching families that results in thousands of new believers who share their faith with others.
Pray for grace and truth expanding into their entire society as all believers learn to love others.
