Pray:
- A few weeks ago, 70 Protestant Christians in the state of Puebla, Mexico were forced out of their village on the threat of crucifixion or lynching because they did not follow the customs of the traditionalist Catholic town. Pray for the believers’ safety and courage to break through the barriers the town has created against others of differing beliefs. Allow for the truth of the resurrection of Jesus to permeate into the lives of people in the village.
- Praise the LORD for the missions movement growing within Mexico over the past years. Pray that it will continues to spur the creation of new churches and mobilize greater numbers of people to God’s glory.
- Around 1/3 of Mexican people are ages 15 years or younger. Pray for the availability of the Word and outreach to the young. Ask that the street children (some 800,000 homeless) and child laborers (as many as 11 million), would know God’s love and care.
