Tenek is another name for the Huasteco people of San Luis Potosí and northern Veracruz in eastern Mexico. They have strong historical connections with the ancient Mayans.
The Tenek Huasteco live in rural areas where they farm for a living, growing the usual maize, beans, chilis and squash.
The Tenek Huasteco are overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, but they add their traditional religious practices in a blend we call syncretism.
The Tenek Huasteco people need to put Jesus Christ first in their lives. No religious practices or deity can compare to a relationship with the King of kings who longs for them to accept his abundant life.
Pray for Tenek Huasteco Christian believers to disciple others to make even more disciples.
Pray for spiritual hunger and a desire to find truth.
Pray for the Lord to give the Tenek Huasteco people an overwhelmingly abundant harvest this year as a testimony of his power and goodness. May the respond with gratitude.
