Most people associate India’s Ganges River with Hindus. There is a Hindu majority along this massive river, which Hindus consider holy. Yet, millions of unreached Muslims live near the river.

The 2020s have been a decade of persecution for both Muslims and Christians. Hinduism is increasingly being used for political purposes, resulting in Indian leaders seeking to exclude other religions who are not Hindu. Islam and Christianity are branded “Abrahamic religions,” which some Hindus believe first came to the Subcontinent as part of invading forces. These invading forces first came from Central Asian Muslims and later from Christian Europeans. Some would love to see Muslims and Christians expelled from India altogether.

In this time of religious intolerance, there is a golden opportunity for Christians to reach out to their Muslim neighbors. Indeed, some Christian Believers are preparing to reach Muslims for Christ. Christians are learning the local languages and searching for “persons of peace” who might welcome them to speak to the Muslim community. Meanwhile, they are training church planting leaders. These Christians will soon be ready to win and disciple Muslims to follow the only Savior.
