May 6 - Pray for the Huichol

The Huichol have a population of 61,500 in Mexico, and just yesterday, were located in Illinois in the USA (probably as a direct result of your prayers yesterday for people groups in the USA).  Their primary languages are Spanish and Huichol and their primary religion is a mixture of shamanistic traditional religious practices and Roman Catholicism.  This people group is less than 2% evangelical but there are Mexican Baptists working to start a church among them.

As you pray for the Huichol:
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.
