In recent years Mexico has been increasingly suffering from the extortion, intimidation, and violence from the rising power and influence of criminal drug cartels that have resulted in the deaths of thousands of people every year, including many law enforcement officers. The nation is under siege and struggling for survival.

The Solution
Strong political, social, legal, and military initiatives are needed, but the greatest need is for the transformation of the hearts and minds of the people through the truth and power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel must be preached throughout the country and local churches established for the discipling of believers so that person by person, household by household, and neighborhood by neighborhood righteousness, integrity, morality, and Christian virtues will overcome the forces of sin, darkness, and violence. As more and more people hear and embrace the Gospel of Christ, the forces of evil will begin to subside.

Our Ministry of Prayer
The prophet Samuel told the Israelites: Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you, (1 Sam. 12:23).
Paul told Timothy: First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people…(1 Tim. 2:1)
Those of us who are associated with Pray Mexico want to do something to help the tragic situation in Mexico. We believe we have a responsibility and privilege to do something to help our neighboring country on our southwestern border. As Christians we are debtors to all men (Romans 1:14) and especially those we are in close proximity to. The first thing we can do is to pray for this nation. God can bring about change in the hearts of people as the Word of God is preached and received by the gracious work of the Holy Spirit. But we must begin with earnest prayer.

The First Prayer Gathering
Please consider joining us on Friday evening, November 20, from 7:30-9:00pm at the meeting house of Good Shepherd Community Church, 4701 Viriginia Ave., Dallas, TX 75204, as we join together in fervent prayer for the salvation of the Mexican people. For more information call Jeff Gregory (214-324-9915) or Mark Bahr (214-300-8220). Please invite others to join us.
