May 2 - Pray for the Yaitepec Chatino

The Yaitepec Chatino have a population of 4,900 in Mexico, and are also found in North Carolina and Georgia in the USA. Their primary language is Western Highland Chatino and their primary religion is a mixture of native religious practices and Roman Catholicism.  They are less than 2% evangelical and there has been no active church planting among them in recent years.  A worker has begun work among this group in Mexico, but much help is needed, and there is a need for churches to reach out to them in the USA.

As you Pray for the Yaitepec Chatino:
1. Ask the Father to raise up workers to take the gospel to them
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.
