We are getting our Travel Blog up and going as we prepare to leave for Mexico in a week.
We will spend several days there working with a dynamic missionary team in Oaxaca. Here is what their team leader says about their work in this unreached part of Mexico:
Our state, Oaxaca, has over 150 distinct indigenous people/language groups. Many of these groups are still fairly unreached with the gospel. (Oaxaca has the highest concentration of least-reached people groups in all of the Americas.) Our town, Tlaxiaco, is a market town centrally located to the Mixtec (and Triqui) region in western Oaxaca. This region is the least-reached area of the state. Our town has several churches, but many of the thousand or so mountain villages within a few hours of us have very little or no gospel witness. We are working to make disciples of indigenous people in our town and then help them take the gospel back to their home villages. We are integrating some community development work into our church planting efforts and currently have a well drilling project and a diabetes project that are just getting off the ground.
What a wonderful opportunity to see God raise up disciple-making leaders who can plant fruitful seed throughout this needy state in Mexico!
We leave Friday morning, February 19, fly to Atlanta to spend the night (the joys of flying with frequent flyer miles) and then into Mexico on Saturday...
