Huichol in Mexico
Pronounced: wee-CHOHL
Overview: Historically, the rough topography of the Huichol homeland in the western mountains of Mexico insulated them from outside influences. Today, the Huichol integrate into the general Mexican society and economy. Most Huichol provide for themselves by growing and raising their own food, and extended Huichol families live together in settlements.
Ministry Obstacles: They believe that when a person dies, the soul embarks on a five year journey through the underworld. After the journey, the soul returns to earth and is captured by a shaman in the form of a rock crystal. The crystal is placed on the family altar to be anointed with blood and offered food.
Outreach Ideas: Today, there is an unprecedented opportunity to reach the Huichol. The New Testament and the JESUS Film are available to them.
PRAY that God would give Huichol believers boldness to share the love of Jesus with their own people.
PRAY that God would bring forth much fruit as the JESUS Film is shown to the Huichol.
PRAY that God would save key Huichol leaders who will boldly declare the gospel to their people.
