Tlapaneco, Tlacoapa of Mexico
The people have
been "Christianized" for generations, but few know what it means to
accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Current ministry in the area is
conducted by Iglesias Cristianas Tlapanecas (ICT), with support from
Tlapanec Indian Ministries of Memphis, TN. The people are steeped in
superstition and have a very hard time getting over these problems. They
have not had extreme objection to the Gospel such as many groups in
Mexico have had, but their old animistic practices continue in their
lives even for those who have accepted Christianity.
Ministry Obstacles
Sadly, the people have been somewhat inoculated from the power and purity of the Gospel of Christ.

Outreach Ideas
Believers in Mexico are sometimes oblivious to the need of unreached groups in their backyard. Pray these believers will see the need to effectively communicate the Gospel to the Tlapaneco.

Pray for the followers of Christ
There may very well be no genuine followers of Jesus in this tribe, only the Lord knows. Pray the Lord's Spirit will make it abundantly clear to each person in this highly Christianized tribe whether they have truly accepted Christ.

Pray for the entire people group
Pray for a stirring of the Lord's Spirit in this tribe, taking from them any satisfaction gained from their religion and giving them a hunger to know Jesus in a personal way.
