Thank You

Thank you for your prayers for the unreached peoples of Mexico throughout the month of May.  As a direct result of your prayers, two unreached people groups that we had not previously known were located in the USA have now been located.  Both the Huichol and the Zenzontepec Chatino are among the most unreached peoples in all of Mexico, and since they have now been located in the USA, it will make it easier for churches here to begin to reach out to them with the gospel.  Please thank God for the location of these groups, and ask Him to raise up churches who will adopt them here in the USA and bring them the Good News of new life in Christ.
