May 24 - Pray for the Purepecha

The Purepecha have a population of 177,000. This people group is found in Mexico and in numerous places throughout the USA, with heavy concentrations on the West Coast. Their primary language is Spanish and their primary religion is a mixture of native religious practices and Roman Catholicism. This people group is less than 2% evangelical but there are evangelical missionaries reaching out to them in Mexico.

As you pray for the Purepecha:
1. Ask the Father to raise up workers to take them the gospel
2. Ask God to raise up people of peace who will give gospel workers access to their people
3. Ask for open access, as many groups are suspicious of evangelicals
4. Ask for His Holy Spirit to prepare their hearts to receive the gospel
5. Ask that God would highlight those who have immigrated to the USA to churches so that they can be evangelized, discipled, and mobilized to reach their people, both in the USA and Mexico
