Story number 3 for 27 Jan 2000

Posted: 27 January, 2000

World Servants is sending a training team to several small villages in remote parts of Central Mexico next month. Chris Clum says they're very excited about the trip because it is the culmination to a ministry that was years in the making. "There's been some resistance we've had from the government to go up into the mountains...and we've also had some resistance just from the shaman and some of the traditional Indians that have been opposed to the Christians coming up into the villages. It's been a long time coming, but they've actually asked to come and to provide training for them. We're excited that these doors are starting to open up." Clum says in spite of an openness to the Gospel, they're asking that Christians pray for the work of the teams and the local believers. "Often times in some of these villages of a 100, 125, there might be only one or two Christians-so these guys are isolated, they have to deal with language barrier...there's a lot of issues that they have to deal with. Pray for unity for them-pray that God is going to give these guys passion and vision to love and to serve and to reach their villages for Christ."
