5 Times to Pray for Us

5 Times to Pray for Us

One of our goals is to get people to pray for us. It’s important for us in both life and ministry to have people who will pray for us.

We know that our success is based on the prayers of people like you. We’d love to have a ton of people praying for us and the ministry in Mexico City (and Latin America).

So, here are five times when you could pray for us. We’d love to have you praying for us when these things happen to you.

  1. When you eat tacos or see a taco bell (or any Mexican food). Tacos are popular here. If you eat tacos or burritos (like at Chipotle…mmm), stop and pray for us.
  2. When you hear someone speaking Spanish. Everywhere you go, you probably hear people speaking Spanish. Next time you’re in a store and hear Spanish, pray for the Poulette family.
  3. When you see a soccer ball or a soccer game. If you take your kids to soccer practice or a soccer game, or if you pass by a soccer field or see it on TV, pray for us.
  4. When you hear a dog bark. We hear dogs barking everyday. When you hear a dog bark, pray for the ministry in Mexico City.
  5. When you see our prayer card. Don’t have one? Get one here!

BONUS: Right now!

Let us know if you’re praying for us. You can also send us your prayer requests on our sign-up page.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Mexico City. For some reason, I can’t get it out of my head. There is an enormous need in this mega-city. Our job is to train youth workers for local churches. In the United States, there is a trained youth worker for every 600 young people. In the rest of the world, there is a trained youth worker for every 400,000 young people.

In order for Mexico City to have one youth worker for every 600 young people, there would have to be around 25,000 youth workers in this city. There aren’t even that many evangelical churches in Mexico City. The population of Mexico City is less than 2% Christian, and the young people of this country are in desperate need for role models, mentors, heroes, and leaders.

We’re off to a great start with the 9 students studying at the seminary to be youth ministers, but we need more workers. I believe that something great is going to happen in this city. We need youth ministers here in Mexico, and we need global youth workers from the United States who will help with this enormous job.

Churrería El Moro

Churrería El Moro

If you’re looking for a great place to visit in Mexico City, and you’ve got a sweet tooth, you should definitely check out Churrería El Moro in downtown Mexico City. It’s on Lazaro Cardenas, also known as Eje Central, and the place is full of history.

It was established in 1935, and they sell churros and chocolate. In case you didn’t know, chocolate is from Mexico. So, the chocolate at El Moro is world famous. And the churros are delicious, too. They cost 3 pesos each, which is a great price for such a delicious snack. You can get a combo of chocolate and churros for a little more than 40 pesos.

So, if you’re visiting Mexico City, you should definitely take some time to go to Churrería El Moro.

Check out the video of churros being made.
