\n

Jos\u00e9* is a busy medical student in the multicultural Mexican city of San Cristobal. He loves Jesus and wants to share the good news with his friends. But it\u2019s hard. Jos\u00e9 has a part-time job to fund his studies, on top of a busy workload at university. His faith is tested by the huge variety of ideologies and religious practices surrounding him. And Jos\u00e9 doesn\u2019t have much support as there is not yet an established IFES ministry anywhere in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Over the last two years, the IFES Breaking New Ground<\/a> project has been supporting pioneering work in this region. COMPA Mexico staff worker Daniel has visited the area several times on pioneering trips and is now preparing to move there with his young family. Meeting students like Jos\u00e9 helped him to see the need for an established student ministry:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cThere is a great need to disciple the new generations \u2013 those who embraced the gospel years ago but never received follow-up or training. Students like Jos\u00e9 need deep roots in the faith and the support of the body of Christ if they are to serve the university and impact society.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Please join us in prayer for God\u2019s work in San Cristobal:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
  • Pray for the practical and financial needs of Daniel and his family as they prepare to move to San Cristobal to help pioneer a student ministry.<\/li>
  • Thank God for Jos\u00e9\u2019s hunger to know Him more and share Him with his friends. Pray that Jos\u00e9 would have wisdom in managing his time and that he would grow strong spiritual foundations this year.<\/li>
  • IFES is currently supporting the launch of 51 new student fellowships in Mexico. Pray that all of these new groups would become established and thriving.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
