More than a year after being expelled from their village because of their faith, a group of Christians are now sharing the Gospel with their new neighbours.
While a few families in the original group abandoned their faith for the promise of getting all their possessions back from the villagers, the other families remained strong in faith. Two families moved into homes provided by a local church, while seven others moved onto property owned by a VOM-supported frontline worker.
Several of those families have since moved into permanent housing and opened a small shop to sell groceries. This provides not only an income but also a means of sharing the Gospel in their community. Praise God for those who have been rescued from darkness.

Holy Father in Heaven, we praise and thank you for the witness of many believers in Mexico. Uphold and strengthen them during this time of uncertainty and especially those who are cast out of their villages for one reason or another. Thank you for the work of VOM and other like agencies bringing relief to many families. Give to these families growing faith and reliance on your promises and help them to reach out in witness to those around them including those who have treated them unjustly. Bless the work of your Gospel through them.
Father, thank You for providing for our brothers and sisters through Your Church. Thank You for providing faith, courage and witness. Make them bold for Your glory, faithful for Your Kingdom and steadfast in prayer and thanksgiving. Bring Your Kingdom here Lord, and build your kingdom amongst these people we pray. Thank Your for organisations like VOM and give them windows of opportunity for faith to be shared and upheld. Thank You for prayer that unites us though we are scattered through the world. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
