Join me in praying for Mexico: Challenges for Prayer Mexico is a growing nation that is still discovering its own identity. Meso-American origins, Hispanic history and a dynamic but turbulent relationship with its neighbours all shape Mexico profoundly. This search often manifests itself through religious identity (both animist and Catholic) and the inevitable accompanying anti-Protestant sentiment. Pray that Mexicans, both indigenous and mestizo, might find their ultimate identity and destiny in the love of Christ and the purposes of God. Bible translation and distribution. Despite centuries of social and cultural pressure, use of indigenous languages is vigorous and varied. The many dialects illustrate translation and language needs beyond the ordinary. Pray for: a) Translation. Since 1936, Bible translation work has been remarkable, with programmes among 190 languages and NTs completed in 120. Currently SIL is involved in 84 translation projects. Research shows that 11 languages still have a definite need for a full translation, and a further 20 exist where a more limited project would meet the need. Pray for the achievement of the current NT and Bible translation goals by the Mexican Bible Society, New Tribes, SIL and others. There are many requests for help with NT revisions and adaptations. Pray for UNTI (the Union of Indigenous Bible Translators) as they seek to find and support local, trained personnel to help with these needs. A great need is for strong partnerships among those who promote Scripture use and literacy. Pray for translation agencies to have continued good relations with federal and state government agencies. b) Printing and distribution. The Bible Society plays an important role in producing and distributing Spanish and indigenous Scriptures in Mexico and the whole region, as does the Bible League. Pray that the dissemination and reading of the Scriptures may transform individuals, congregations and the nation.
