News, Mexico
On August 2nd, due to intense rainfall in the mountain region of ”Mazateca de Oaxaca” in the populated area of Monte Horeb Chilchotia, a landslide buried 12 people who attend “Los Peregrinos,” the Wesleyan church in the state of Oaxaca. Every one of them perished. Several victims were part of a Christian Mariachi music group who were practicing together in a house when the landslide occurred. The pastor, Brother Julian Carmona, is unharmed. Please pray for Pastor Carmona and the families of the victims as they grieve. Pray that their Christian testimonies in the face of death will be a shining example to unbelievers in the community. Pray for National Superintendent Martin Torres as he ministers to those affected by the tragedy.
