• Pray for the Mexico Territory

Prayer requests from the Mexico Territory.

Each week throughout 2025, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for a particular territory or region of The Salvation Army.

The focus territory/region shares prayer requests to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (8-14 December), we pray for the Mexico Territory.

The Mexico Territory has 171 officers (115 active, 56 retired); 11 cadets; 47 corps; 1 outpost; 1248 senior soldiers; 970 adherents; 519 junior soldiers; 105 employees

The work of the territory includes:

·  Children’s homes

·  Soup kitchens

·  Mental health support

·  Domestic violence response

·  Modern slavery and human trafficking response

·  Emergency relief (4200 people assisted in 2025)

Lieut-Colonels Agripina and Gerardo Góchez lead the territory.

The vision of the Mexico Territory is “to be passionate about the Kingdom of God, sharing the message of God's love with everyone and positively impacting communities”.

Praise points: 

·      We praise the Lord for the lives and ministry of eight newly commissioned Lieutenants in 2025 from the ‘Champions of the Mission’ session, who are already faithfully serving in different parts of the country.

·      We thank God for four new cadets who have just begun their training this year and for the five cadets who started their second year of training.

·      We are thankful for the emergencies seminar held in September, that allowed officers and soldiers to strengthen their training and answer towards natural disasters that affect the country.

·      We praise the Lord for the youth evangelism brigades performed in the four divisions, and for the Salvationist Youth passion in Mexico that continues sharing the salvation message in every time and place.

·      We thank the Lord for the Territorial Institute of Music and Creative Arts celebrated in June, and for the new musicians’ generation whom God had called to praise and proclaim his name.

Prayer requests: 

·      We thank God for guiding us through the implementation of the Strategic Plan ‘Hope’, which will conclude in 2026. We pray for its growth and impact, that we may see beyond the numbers and recognise that each number represents a life transformed. We also pray for the final evaluation stage, that it will reflect God's work in the territory.

·      We pray for the preparation of the new Strategic Plan, that we may discern God’s direction, keeping us aligned to his will, and see tangible spiritual growth in all areas of ministry.

·      We pray that God continues to call men and women to serve as Salvation Army officers, and that soldiers may respond obediently and courageously to his call.

·      We pray for the Territorial Men’s Congress in 2026, that it will be a renewal time of commitment and spiritual strength in the lives of every attendee.

·      Pray that the Mexico Territory will move towards self-sustainability, trusting in God's provision especially for the 45 social work expressions that serve vulnerable communities on a daily basis.

·      We pray for the Christmas finance campaign, that every appointment may be blessed in reaching the goal, and that more lives may be touched by God’s love through the money raised.

·      We pray for an increase in memberships in the territory, that every Salvationist in Mexico may be moved by a deep passion for souls and a desire to share the salvation message.
