Mexican Housewife Beaten 40 Times for Sharing Her Faith

Mexico flag1/25/2024　Mexico　 (VOM)

Gabriela lives in a rural village in Oaxaca, Mexico, where members of her Mixteca community adhere to a syncretistic blend of pagan practices and Roman Catholicism that is opposed to the true gospel. Because of her boldness in sharing her faith, she has been attacked by her neighbors as well as by her husband, who is embarrassed by her commitment to Christ. She has been beaten an estimated 40 times and hospitalized on several occasions for sharing her faith. Despite this opposition, she continues to make trips into the Mixteca regions of the mountains of Oaxaca to spread the gospel where few others can go.

Please pray…

  • Praise the Lord for Gabriela’s bold witness, strong faith, and perseverance.
  • Pray that the Lord will strengthen Gabriela and encourage her in the midst of this strong Satanic opposition to her spreading the gospel.
  • Pray that other in her community will be drawn to Jesus as she shares the true gospel and shows the love and forgiveness of Jesus to those who persecute her.
