unreached

So I've been thinking a bunch about why I'm in Mexico. I'm getting tired of asking if anyone loves Jesus, and getting asked in return, "So, are you Christian or Catholic?" Lots of days we wade through stereotype trying desperately to figure out what things need to be fought with truth and what is okay enough that we shouldn't worry about it. People already have an idea of what the gospel is and how Jesus loves them, even if they've never read the bible.
The last couple of days I've found myself longing to share the gospel where people have never heard that God came here to save us from our rebellion against him.
And I've been wondering how Mexico fits. I really want to go share the gospel with unreached people alongside my Mexican friends, and in a lot of ways, I think Mexicans will have a lot easier time gaining entrance into places and cultures where there is no gospel. Yet.
Please pray that God would make Mexico a sending nation ... in both people and money. Even that they would, like the Macedonians, be moved by an abundance of joy to give for the support of the saints.
