Popoloca is the Aztec word for peoples who speak a language other than Náhuatl, their own tongue. Some still speak it while others depend on Spanish. The Popoloca have subgroups including the Coyotepec.
They were once corn farmers, but the land is depleted. Therefore, the Popoloca Coyotepec work as day laborers. However, they also raise livestock for food and sell their baskets in the market. Others mine onyx and marble.
The Coyotepec Popoloca are Roman Catholic, though they also have indigenous religious practices.
The Popoloca Coyotepec need the chance to make a good living. Job training would be helpful for their community.
Pray for Popoloca Coyotepec disciples to make more disciples.
Pray for a spiritual hunger that will lead them to the cross.
Pray for the Lord to show himself mighty by providing for their needs this year.
