Jat (Muslim traditions) in Canada

After 1858, under the British Raj, the Jats were known for their service in the Indian Army, being categorized as a “martial race” by the British. Today the Jat are one of the most prosperous groups in India on a per capita basis. As a general rule, it is the more prosperous and well-educated peoples from South Asia who are allowed to immigrate to Canada. Jat farmers are also known to be experts at producing a high yield, so these people are also welcome in other parts of the world.

Ministry Obstacles

Islam is a formidable obstacle to the gospel, even in the West. Presently we are unaware of followers of Christ in Canada who have a Muslim Jat background. For Muslim Jats to be willing to consider the claims of Christ, they will need the community “gatekeepers” to see that Christ has much to offer them. There are believers in Canada who can do this if they are willing to be patient and persevere.

Scripture Focus

"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."  Psalm 63:1

Scripture Prayer

Pray that hundreds from this people group will earnestly seek God and find Him.

Prayer Focus

Pray for the Holy Spirit to give Jat Muslims in Canada the spiritual hunger necessary to seek and find the Savior. Pray for the Lord to be welcomed by entire Muslim Jat families and clans so that they can enjoy the blessings of being children of the King of kings. Pray for a movement of Jesus to heal and strengthen Jat communities.
