Pray for faith to come by hearing the word of God, and for the transformation of minds and hearts.
Ask that the Chinanteco would faithfully follow Jesus, make disciples, fellowship in unity, and hold fast to Biblical truth.
Ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his field.
Pray there would come a day when the Chinanteco send workers to the unreached in their region.
