PRAY WITH US about syncretist Mexican Catholics, that God will:
1. Give unconverted Mexicans a revelation of Jesus Christ as the only way to the Father. And that they will find true salvation in no other name but His.
2. Protect both evangelists and converts from persecution by cartels and syncretist communities. And to make them into burning lights that their enemies cannot put out.
3. Empower evangelicals to make disciples who will make more disciples. And to multiply them into waves that release unstoppable revival throughout Latin America.
PRAYER ALERT: Syncretist Mexican Catholics Persecute Evangelicals
95% of Mexicans say they are Christians. Yet Open Doors ranks Mexico as the 37th country on its list of worst persecutors of Christians. Furthermore, almost all the persecution against Christians comes from syncretist Catholics who worship saints, according to Jaime Castro, the evangelical president of Universidad Cristiana de Mexico.
Also, drug cartel members also make offerings to saints known for granting success to both good and evil actions. Of course, the Catholic Church condemns devotions to cartel “death saints” like Santa Muerte.
When evangelicals refuse to support Catholic festivals, they face persecution. For instance, local authorities may deny them access to public schools or other resources. Or cartel members may threaten or even kill those who become too vocal in their faith.
Moreover, door-to-door evangelists often see stickers on doors saying, “This home is Catholic. We do not accept propaganda from other religions,” according to Castro. Yet evangelicalism has grown by 49% since 2010. Now 11% now identify as evangelicals. Also, similar trends are occurring throughout mostly Catholic Latin America. So let’s pray that these trends turn into irresistible waves of Holy Spirit power.
