SOM Mexico

Mexico has 63 indigenous languages, not including Spanish. The least reached tribal groups live in very remote areas of Sierra Madres Mountains. Mexico continues to grow in illicit drug production and violence as drug cartels protect their turf. Many tribal people are caught in a cycle of poverty and oppression as they are recruited for the farming of narcotics. Much of these tribal people lack access to God’s Word.

In 2019, faithful Mexican leaders bringing the gospel witness to the unreached tribal areas of the Sierra Madres Mountains established SOM-Mexico. This is a dangerous area to navigate with banditry and drug cartels. They are using aviation to access remote and hostile areas with the gospel. When nurturing new house churches in the mountains, they bring practical supplies and Bibles.

God Answers Prayer for Disciple Makers

Many of the communities the SOM Mexico team serves are in very remote areas, through difficult terrain.  They visited a recent village, consisting of twelve families, and the only access to medical attention or education is a five-hour hike through the difficult mountainous area, including crossing four rivers. In order to meet their daily needs, they rely on the rainfall to grow their crops. We pray every year that rain would bring a fruitful crop, and that health could be abundant in such a rural and difficult area. The work of cultivation to share the gospel has been ongoing.

Federico’s Testimony

Before I met Christ, I was an alcoholic and drug dealer who caused much trouble. However, alcohol and drugs were not my biggest problem. For one year straight, I was drunk or high constantly, not knowing anything about myself. I began to have heart problems and faced many difficulties that caused me to stop drinking little by little. Demonic Visions One afternoon, I was working in a small town at somebody's home. I started hearing and seeing things from another world. The sky grew cloudy, and I heard the sound of rattlesnakes. About three feet from me, I saw little

Aviation Ministry in Mexico Goes Further than Ever Before

Aviation Ministry in Mexico Goes Further than Ever Before Leading Like Christ Series By David Witt Good leadership is founded on following first. The SOM Global directors are people who have bent their will to the will of Jesus first and to follow and to obey Him in all things. Christ-like leadership reflects true humility, which is not self-debasing nor self-exaltation; it is Christ-confidence. As children of Father in heaven, we identify in the Messiah, and therefore, we follow Jesus and His way. Today I highlight the SOM International Director of Mexico.  He oversees both the aviation ministry and the ministry

Nineteen-Year-Old Discovers Pioneer Missions

I remember my first pioneer mission trip like it was yesterday. Loaded with excitement, we headed to the Tex-Mex border on spring break from the Baylor campus to reach out and share the gospel with a community I had never heard of before. The town was called La Paloma. Just a naïve, untrained, nineteen-year-old freshman, I had no idea what missions was. If anything, I was skeptical about missions. Growing up in Reno, Nevada, I often heard our church mention the term “pioneer missions” since our area was newly hearing the gospel. “Pioneer missions,” I scoffed to myself, “Who am I? Daniel

Extreme Poverty In Mexico: Solutions

Helping Impoverished Tribes in Mexico Become Self-Sustainable Recently, we visited a mountainous tribal group who were anxious to see their crops grow. Indeed, this was a sign of hope, for those in extreme poverty. Hope for a better season filled with enough food to sustain them. In case, there are not enough crops to sell, they pray the food will feed their families through the coming season. This tribal group lives dependent upon harvest season. Later, when we returned from this mountain trip, our SOM Mexico team had a heavy burden. They desired to empower this impoverished tribal group to
