The Spiritual Need in Mexico

With a population of over 130 million, Mexico is the 10th most-populous country in the world and the largest Spanish-speaking country. Roman Catholicism is the overwhelmingly predominant faith in Mexico—making the country the second-largest Catholic community in the world. Catholicism, however, is seeing a decline as more Mexicans join Protestant churches, Buddhism and Islam gain influence due to immigration, or people increasingly profess no religious affinity at all.

Mexico is experiencing outbreaks of drug cartel-related violence, as well as a rise in crime and corruption in nearly every sector of society. Some areas have become spiritually calloused due to a revolving door of short-term mission workers from the United States. Sustainable, long-term, local church-centered ministries of biblical evangelism and disciple-making is what’s needed.

Reaching Mexico’s youth with the gospel is of utmost importance. Facing areas of insecurity, violence, and corruption, they are re-examining the traditions and religion of previous generations. Young people in Mexico may be more open to accept the gospel as it offers hope for radical life change and eternal purpose. But many communities are without churches or leaders to tell them about new life through Christ.

Church Planting Missions In Mexico

Proportionate to the challenges the country faces, the spiritual need in Mexico is urgent. The ABWE team in Mexico equips Mexican leaders with theological education, evangelism and discipleship tools; works in student ministries and youth outreach; helps plant and work alongside local churches; evangelizes and disciples migrants; and much more.

The team has planted or aided partners in the planting of multiple churches throughout the country. Additionally, the Good Soil Bible Training Center in Metepec offers local believers a place to receive hands-on teaching, training and mentoring to help equip them for ministry.

Is God leading you to help multiply faithful believers through ministry in Mexico?

PRAYER POINTS

• Pray that Jesus’ love and forgiveness will overcome the strongholds of crime, violence, and corruption.
• Pray for corrupt government officials to repent and seek God’s righteousness.
• Pray for radical discipleship to replace empty religious traditions.

Before I came to Mexico, I don’t think I truly understood the importance of personal relationships and the gospel. Yes, I had friends and ministered in the US, but I didn’t gain a true appreciation of pouring your life out for others. Working one-on-one discipling new believers is demanding, but one of the most joyful ministries. God has changed me as much as the people I disciple.”— ABWE Missionary in Mexico
