SOM Mexico
Mexico has sixty-three 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. Many 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.

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
My Transformed Life – Mexico Story
My Transformed Life A brother in Christ from the city shared the Lord with me in my remote village. I was far from Christ's ways and was a corrupt man. I would drink a lot and frequently visit brothels. I was a very unfaithful man. When I met Christ, my desires changed and I felt liberated.

I now attend the weekly reunions that Brother
