May 7 - Pray for the Ixcatec

The Ixcatec have a population of 35 in Mexico. Their primary language is Spanish and their primary religion is a mixture of native religious practices and Roman Catholicism. This people group has no known believers and there is no evangelical presence among them or effort to reach them for Christ. There is a need for a church to adopt the Ixcatec.

More information on the Ixcatec

As you pray for the Ixcatec:
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.

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.

May 5 - Pray for the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico in the USA

As Mexicans celebrate Cinco de Mayo today, please pray for the indigenous peoples who have immigrated to the USA. They are here by the tens of thousands and are hidden all around us. They struggle to learn Spanish and English. They live in constant fear. They are discriminated against by other immigrants as being “uneducated indians.” God has brought these people to us so they can come to Christ. They need to be found, reached with the gospel, and helped to start churches among their people both here and in Mexico. Pray that churches in the USA would reach out and embrace their indigenous Mexican neighbors and do whatever it takes to reach them for Christ.

May 1 - Praise for the Yautepec Zapotec

Do you ever wonder if your prayers have any effect? Your prayers were, and continue to be instrumental in the lives of the 400 Yautepec Zapotec in Mexico. They were on this list last year as a group with less than 2% of their population as believers in Jesus Christ. However, they have recently been adopted by a church in the USA, and as a result of this engagement, God’s Spirit is moving among them. While they continue to need prayer and the initial numbers are small, the gospel is beginning to bear fruit among them! Please pray for the new believers and ask for lasting eternal fruit as a result of the new engagement of the Yautepec Zapotec. Pray for the USA Church to be able to find ways to share the Gospel with these people.

1. Ask the Father to raise up more workers to take the gospel to them
