Gabriela lives in a rural village in Oaxaca, Mexico, where members of her Mixteca community adhere to Christo-paganism, a syncretistic blend of pagan practices and Roman Catholicism that is opposed to the gospel. Because of her boldness in sharing her faith, she has been attacked by her neighbors as well as her husband, who is embarrassed by her commitment to Christ. She has been beaten an estimated 40 times and hospitalized on several occasions. Despite this opposition, she continues to make outreach trips into the Mixteca regions of the mountains of Oaxaca to spread the gospel where few others can go.
Pray for Gabriela's protection, including from her neighbors and her own husband, as she boldly spreads the gospel of Christ and that she would feel God's love and blessing in her life.
Pray that many would put their faith in Christ, including her husband and neighbors, as she continues boldly sharing her faith.
