Mexico From Drug Peddler to Persecuted Pastor

Mexico flag5/5/2022   Mexico   (VOM)

Filadelfo Santos Perez trafficked drugs before he came to faith in Christ. He is now a pastor, and he has experienced much persecution for his Christian faith. He has been arrested for failing to participate in pagan festivals and charged heavy fines. On one occasion, he was denied food and water for three days. After constant threats, Pastor Filadelfo was driven from his village because of his witness for Christ. He now rents a small room in another town, but he feels called by the Lord to continue sharing the gospel in his home village despite the opposition.

Please pray…

  • Pray for the Lord’s protection over Pastor Filadelfo as he continues to preach the gospel in his village.
  • Pray that the Lord will give him opportunities to share the gospel with those in the village where he is now living.
  • Pray that the Lord will strengthen, encourage, and guide Pastor Filadelfo.
