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.

Ministry in Remote Villages Despite the Risk – Mexico Update
SOM-Mexico Reaching Remote Mountainous Villages with the Gospel In order to reach the mountainous villages with the gospel, there are many risks, as we have to walk these trails that are used by the drug smugglers. The outreach team traveled by horseback for eight hours to deliver the Word of God. We use an Ultralight aircraft to bring supplies and Christian materials into remote areas. The runways are very risky and in order to get over the high mountains, we have to gain a lot of height.

Some traveled days to get there in order to be seen. There were also two small group classes that were given. One to the youth by a nurse about suicide awareness
