Mixteco? What?

MIXTECO(MEES-TEH-CO)an indigenous people group in southern Mexico that does not speak Spanish. They are an Indian tribe that has a tradition of Catholicism but not practicing. There are over 50 dialects within the language.

This people group has come to Alabama. There are an estimated 3000 Mixteco's in Central Alabama. A good portion of that group seems to be located here in Montgomery. They have come here to work so that they can provide for their families back home in Mexico.

THREE of our Montgomery churches have begun to reach out and FOUR of our Ministries are reaching them.

Pray for:

Eastern Hills Baptist Church

The Lord of the Harvest has asked us to meet the needs of the sojourner and the alien. As scripture says: we were all once aliens.....

Pray for:

The Mixteco Task Force in Montgomery. We are continually educating ourselves on this people group and how we can serve them and show God's love in tangible ways. There is a page for Praying for the Mixteco People of Montgomery here on Montgomery.

If you like praying for people groups, here is one right in our backyard that we can pray for and minister to.

God is on the move in Montgomery! Come...join Him in what He is doing.

Peace along the way,

Lisa
